About this listen

 Growing up, Jazir was taught that if he maintained good grades and did the right things, he would be able to live his dream life. He decided to follow the advice path––no sex before marriage, never breaking any laws, no drinking, no smoking–– a dedicated straight-A student. After graduating college, however, he failed to land a job and ended up homeless–– living in a tent on the streets of Los Angeles with his wife and son. Tragedy strikes in their tent–– he loses his wife to sickness, and his son––Jalob, is kidnapped right in the middle of his grieving. The kidnapping–– orchestrated by a childless family with connections to corrupt police officers, sends him down the darkest spiral of his life–– challenging everything he stood for and believed in. He vows never to stop fighting for Jalob's return and is prepared to do whatever it takes to get him back.

Impressed by his resume, Lyria offers him the opportunity of a lifetime–– the end of his struggling days, and the ability to get his son back–– provided he can survive a mission inside one of the city's most corrupt criminal organizations. With no family other than Jalob, and no instruction book on being a widow, he's forced to start life over–– Embarking on a journey the opposite of the path he had planned.

A fast-building drama, a slow-building love story–– every sentence is patiently and poetically written. A story that questions the very meaning of family, friendship, and love. Henrio, Lucia, Ceyrah Clarra, Sandi, Jazir, Jalob, Hoya, and Supa Rodger make for an unforgettable ensemble of characters. A story that will stick with you long after you've read the final paragraph.

Jazir’s determination was paramount in this book. His character really evolved. From weakness to triumph. The development from listening and being led by others to making the toughest decisions alone made me feel like I could be Jazir at any time. Sometimes your own actions are not understood by others and are the very thing that gives them the power to make or break you during your most vulnerable times. Discerning who to trust in life is challenging and rewarding.
I liked going through the emotional ups and downs with Jazir. I was able to follow the characters as their lives intertwined with Jazir as he simply lived his life. I really felt that people come into our lives for a reason or a season.

I did not like that the virtual voice said the word “dash” instead of pausing. It was irritating and distracting.

The making of a man!

To many characters for one short book. Ends not completed. Horrible language and writing. Parts don't tie together. I certainly hope my book club paid a bill for this author this month. NEVER AGAIN.

Don't waste you time.
