He's sentenced to 18 months in a juvenile sexual-rehabilitation center.

His mother, Adrianne, refuses to turn her back on him despite his horrific crimes, but her husband won't allow Noah back into their home. In a series of shocking and shattering revelations, Adrianne is forced to make the hardest decision of her life. Just how far will she go to protect her son?

Heart wrenching

This book absolutely tore me apart. As a parent, what would you do in this situation?! As a mother, the thought of this actually happening broke me. I give this four stars all the way; from the narrator, who perfectly captured the accent and tone of the setting, to the story itself, which offers insight into a deeply difficult and often unspoken topic. It’s a nightmare scenario, but one that is terrifyingly possible. I’m sure many parents have faced something like this and felt unable to express themselves due to the shame and judgment of society. This book is a raw, emotional portrayal of the lengths a mother would go to for her child, no matter the circumstances.

Frustrating

The mother was the worst trying to.make noah The to make Noah look like he was innocent and like what he did wasn’t so bad that he molested girls (that is sinister behavior) I was on the dad's side - I would not care what happened to Noah if that was my child but then he turned out to be the opposite of what I thought it was. The narration was not that good like the author try to sound like a man, little girl , and teenager - they should have gotten different voice actors. however the situation was pretty interesting to read about It - heavy stuff. Overall it was worth an credit .

Very thought provoking...

No disney story here...it was difficult read because of subject matter but the author handled well...it was a really great listen.

Left me in tears and shock!

I wasn't sure how I was gonna like this book when I learned what it was about, but it was an amazing story and heart wrenching.

Heartbreaking

A really difficult story to hear, and you’re conflicted the entire time on the choices/outcomes of it all. Brings to life another side of abuse you normally don’t see. The twist at the end was heartbreaking, and very troubling- I wish there was more insight to that. I think this will stick with me for a while…
