Publisher's summary
An orphaned boy raised by a survivalist wends his way into the real world in an emotional novel about hope, fears, and found family by New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde.
Out there is chaos, the collapse of society, and so much to be afraid of. All that matters is freedom.
That’s what Remy Blake has been taught by his survivalist father. Raised off the grid in the middle of nowhere, his own survival skills not yet honed, Remy is days shy of his eighth birthday when his father unexpectedly dies. As seasons pass, supplies run out, and fending for himself grows more desperate, Remy sets out on foot, unprepared for the great unknown of civilization.
He is found—near feral, silent, and terrified—in the small rural town of Blaire. To Anne, a nurturing mother of two adopted teenagers who’s still dealing with her own childhood rejections, Remy is not a lost cause. Just a challenging one. As Remy cautiously adapts to his new foster home, his family wants nothing more than to reassure him that he can trust the world. But to do so, they must first reexamine how much they trust the world themselves, and how much they should. As Remy’s journey into the real world begins, figuring out how to navigate it becomes a path they will have to learn to walk together.

After exchanging barbs, bickering, baiting, and pushing buttons, Chester hits Lewis with the big ask. Lewis can’t say no to a dying wish.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

Amazing story
I love Catherine Ryan Hyde books. She brings out all sorts of emotions. Her stories really warm my heart. Well, they also break my heart, but you know what I mean. And she makes you think and feel deeper. I can’t really explain it; I just know she’s an amazing author.
It hurts my heart to know that children suffer so much and go through so many horrible things, but it’s great to know there are truly good people out there to help even the very damaged, traumatized ones.

People who live away from society
I think the story was great how she brought this child back. I think there were some things in there that were realistic like a 5 1/2 year-old child would not be capable of doing some of the things he did in this book. But, that’s why they call it fiction. It was an enjoyable read.

WOW
I absolutely loved this book. I didn’t want it to end so I made myself shut it off even though I still had more driving to do.
I love Remy. What an amazing and resilient child. And Ann-in the beginning I didn’t like her because I thought she was too pushy. Then I realized she had to be to get where she was- a woman who didn’t know the meaning of giving up.
Catherine Ryan Hyde-keep writing. Your books are so special.

So good!
I finish this book with a new perspective, not only about life, and how we should embrace every moment, good or bad, but also not to judge people from the outside. What a great book! Well, written.
