Braden was dropped off as baby to his father’s doorstep. He grew up alongside his older brother Trey. The boys were raised as Christians as their father was highly religious. Their father was not only religious, but also an abusive alcoholic. Because of this Trey left home as soon as he could. On the other hand, Braden thought he had the best dad in the world. Braden was a star baseball player, famous in his high school league for his fastball. Braden inherited this love and talent for baseball from his father, who played in the minor league. Braden and his father connected the most from baseball, which created the bond that they share. Then his father is arrested for a hit and run on a police officer. He is convicted of murder. Although, in this book- conviction isn’t always a legal term. Braden prepares himself to testify in the trial, insisting his father is innocent. Although when Braden finds out his father is off the hook, he feels guilty. Why?
This book creates a suspenseful feel, while bringing you through Braden’s life. Some things are brought forth to you, making the book tie together and creating tension. It really puts you in Braden’s shoes, and you really start to feel what Braden feels.
