Once I was released from prison, I thought that all of the heartache was over. I was back with my family, and I assumed that the nightmare had come to an end. Little did I know, the nightmare had actually just begun. Everybody around me was keeping secrets that would send me right back to a dark place, a place way worse than the prison that I had just emerged from. This time of my life was supposed to be my "happily ever after the bullshit." In fact, I was so happy that I didn't see the deceit that was happening right under my nose.

rebirth
Everyone has to live with the choices they make moral or not. We all have a threshold of what we can accept. Roman got results, perhaps not by the book, but results !! Dad's illness makes Roman vulnerable and he promises to do better and be better. I enjoyed Roman's rebirth. Action, intrigue, and adventure. Shocker ending. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

I greatly enjoyed the plot and storyline, it was a great twist; I would have liked to know what happened to Shay though; what and why she went bad as a daughter.. The last chapter repeated itself twice!! Overall I enjoyed it
