Writing with a finesse beyond his years, Woodson blends humor, reality and survival. He creates an inspiring story told with the innocent candor that can only exist when belief in humanity is still fresh.”

“This bright young author has written a story that hooks you in the prologue, which cleverly describes the intense ending of the story. The story is a pretty accurate portrayal of the effects abuse can have on a family and the extreme results that can occur. We thoroughly enjoyed this story. A Big ‘Write On’ to J. L. Woodson!”
