The Rules of Survival by Nancy Werlin (259 pages)


Matthew’s life was never all that simple. In fact, every day of his life was a constant struggle to keep him and his sisters safe from his abusive and irresponsible mother, Nikki. One day, he and his sister Callie went to a local Cumberland Farms and saw a man defending a little boy who had been falsely accused of stealing. Instantly, he thinks that this is the guy who can save him and his sisters from his wretched mother. Before he gets a chance to contact the guy (Murdoch) and ask for help, his mom approaches Murdoch and they start dating. Everything begins to get better for a little while. Matthew and his sisters were hardly getting beatings, they were spending time with Murdoch, and it almost starts to become a family. But after a bad break-up, all hell breaks loose. I would highly recommend this book to pretty much everybody. It’s a good story of family, safety, and old-school love.
