"You can know all the facts you want about a person...but you'll never know for sure what's driving his heart." Joe, Ed, and Angela grew up without a dad and with a junkie mom, but at least they had each other. Until the day Ed doesn't come home. It's been 10 years since Joe last saw Ed when he hears that Ed finally has been given his execution date as he waits on death row. Joe decides it's finally time to get rid of the excuses and spend all the time he can with his brother, no matter what the truth of his crime is, as they fight for appeals to save his life. How do you find yourself while in the midst of losing others? When your family has been broken, how do you make yourself whole? (Florida Teen Read, 2020)
