My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Timothy lives with his mother and medically fragile baby brother. His father left the family unexpectedly right after the baby brother's birth. Timothy and his mother are doing the best they can, but it's never enough. Not enough money, medicine, or time. In a weak moment Timothy steals a wallet to pay for his brother's medicine. As a part of his punishment he's placed under house arrest; must see his probation officer, and court appointed psychologist weekly; and must keep a journal. This book is his journal.
This is a beautifully written book. The emotion is raw and believable. I was truly unable to put this book down once I started it.
