Todd is seriously down on his luck. Gabriel has been there, done that and survived. The two of them meet on a stormy, snowy night and each take a chance on the other. Todd has a lot of growing to do.

This is the story that talks about how you hand down the line. The help you have had, the love you have received, all of it, you use to help the next person who comes along. That part is totally brilliant, in this book. How Gabe takes in Todd, gives him shelter and food. As someone once did for hi...
