BOOK BLURB
Mick
I was living the American dream. I had a beautiful wife and a career that I loved.
Then everything I knew and loved was lost to me forever.
With nothing left, I set out to lose myself in New York City. What I found, instead, was a best friend who would change my life forever.
This is the story of how one person’s kindness set me on a journey that would change my life forever.

MY REVIEW
What do you do when everything you love has been lost forever . Mick has been through a lot and now is trying to hide in New York City . Then one day on the bench he finds a best friend who would change his life in a way that noone would of ever thought. This isn't a love story but a story of one man's journey back from the brink and become himself again .
This story has such strong characters , Mick is truly a hero in my books , he has fought for so much . He is strong but he is also so scarred and broken , he has lost everything and everyone he loved. You just want to take care of him and wrap him up in a blanket and tell him that life will be ok. Pastor Clarence is another great character . He goes through a lot with Mick and becomes a good friend to him and encourages Mick to start doing things . Also another great character that starts Mick on his journey home is Dr Finley , he really helps Mick come to terms with what has happened and starts to put everything back to normal . They are both strong and kind characters that you will love .
We can't forget Raven, the sweet woman who befriends Mick and shows him nothing but kindness . I love the relationship between Mick and Raven , its is so sweet . They seem to be more then friends that there is a true love between them that will not be destroyed in any way .
This book is so powerful, its shows what love can do to help bring a person well lets say back to life . The characters are so well written and complex and you will love them . The story is so relevant in todays world . So many veterans suffering in silence and those who are there to help . The author tackles this story in such a way that you care for the characters and want the best for them . The author has a way of letting us inside MIcks head and we get to see what he is really going through . This is an emotional book that will have you wiping a tear or two from your eyes and also you will be cheering for our main character through out the whole book . So if you want a powerful book for your summer reading challenge add this one to your list .
