One Man’s Poignant and Captivating Story!
Chris, formerly known as CJ, is a young man trapped in an abusive relationship. His father is physically abusive and when he escapes his father, his mother is equally verbally and emotionally abusive. Chris, 10 years old, turns to his new neighbor, and love at first sight ensues! Chris is seen and treated by most as weak. He learns strength, confidence, and determination will get him back to Danielle and on to a better life. Then destiny decides something else for Chris and Danielle.
The author, C.J. Hudson through the power of his words, his vivid descriptions, and true-life experiences a captivating journey that resonates vividly and deeply with his audience. The characters are detailed in a clear and visual writing style. His down-to-earth writing style is unique and poignant, revealing heartfelt emotions realistically. His message is powerful and thought-provoking as he so clearly shows the growth of his main character, Chris. It is through this growth that he reveals powerful emotions, multifaceted loss, and strength of love and sacrifice.
The narrator, Marcus Barton, is perfect for this audiobook. He slipped into the character of Chris easily and smoothly. His ability to project the emotions and atmosphere of the situations was true to life and graphic. He masterfully used pauses, cadence, and tone to further the storyline poignantly. When I heard Barton vocalize his fears and thoughts, it seemed completely natural.
This is an intimate and captivating journey for one boy as he heads into manhood. His story is not yet done; I look forward to hearing more about his journey.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
