Resumen del Editor

From best-selling author Karen McQuestion comes a moving novel about broken hearts…and what it takes to put them back together again.

At nine years of age, Logan Weber knows the routine. Keep quiet, make the food last, and don’t ever cause trouble. He’ll do what it takes to evade the rages of his troubled, violent father. Even though he’s only a child, Logan already knows too much - has seen too much.

So when the opportunity presents itself, Logan runs. He has no idea where his journey will lead, or that the grandmother he’s been told is dead is desperately searching for him.

Alone with no home of his own, Logan looks for a safe place to hide. Relying on his instincts and the kindness of strangers, the boy manages to touch the lives of everyone he meets. But his innocent heart cannot survive in the adult world without the most basic human need of all: love.

Cruelty, A Brave Boy and His Grandma Nan

When Logan Weber’s mother died, he stopped speaking. His world changed. And life at home with his father got worse and worse. He had no idea that there was someone in the world who still loved him, wanted him. His drunkard of a dad had told him she was dead. When Logan is more afraid of his father than what he faces in the outside world, he runs. He’s only nine years old, but he’s smart and God sent his guardian angels to watch over him. The story of who he meets along the way is amazing, and how Logan impacts their lives and the decisions they are contemplating is evidence to me that God never wastes our experiences, good or bad. Logan’s run is a harrowing experience for him and the others involved, yet this tale is one of victory. When I first began the audio book, I thought it sounded like a book for young people or teens, I was wrong. The longer I listened, the more I knew that it was for adults, all of us that needed to know and hear just what goes on in the heart of a frightened child. Bravo! Excellent story and an ending that I did not see coming, but well worth the wait!

The strength of love and power of the Human Spirit

I loved this book it was a great story. Well narrated and difficult to stop listening to. Although it was fictional this story depicted real life situations depicting The Power of Love and resilience of the human spirit.

A good suspenseful book. I love it .

It was a good book. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Yes.

Good for young teen book

The story was good for a young adult storyline. Performance was excellent. We did find ourselves being drawn into the book.

Predictable

Decent story in the vein of hall mark stories. It lacks depth. The characters and the story line is very predictable which makes the happy ending a disappointment.

Heartwarming

I enjoyed every moment of this book. I highly recommend it. Okay for little listening ears as well, which l appreciate when the I have little ones around.

Tragic and beautiful

Loved this book, but have your Kleenex ready. Last several chapters had me in tears. Logan is the sad and lonely boy who finally finds his voice and is a little hero. I am a grandmother and completely understand her crusade to find her grandson. This book is worth the credit.

highly recommend it

it was not the end I'd expected.. a sweet, kind, story though. I loved it.

Marvelous

Could not get out of the car. Had to keep listening.
I love happy endings.
Recommend.

Nice Story

I enjoyed the story. Easy to listen to while I sew. I get disappointed in stories when they leave out prayer. I believe turning to a higher power is in our DNA during stressful situations.
