On the day of Shawn's first professional baseball game, he reflects on journey that led to this moment. He recalls the day he, at six years old, his 5-year-old brother, Darnell, and 4-year-old sister, Michelle, were taken from their family. Eight years had passed since they’d last seen their family. Shawn and Darnel embark on a journey to find answers to their lives. Why had they been taken from taken from their family? What happened to their father after the fire? What happened to their mother after they found her unconscious? Were their parents still alive? They needed to take that journey.

And Some RISE Above It is a coming-of-age story about a boy navigating the perils of growing up in foster care. Will someone love and take care of him and his brother and sister? What will his future hold? Will his childhood limit his possibilities? What will become of his life after he ages out of foster care? With an unshakable love of his grandmother and a tremendous passion for baseball, he finds meaning to his life, inspiring him to reach goals he never believed were achievable.
