The ground shook and a rumble sounded through the air as the train squealed to a stop. Maybe, just maybe, I could carry someone’s bags without the porter taking notice. And then there was the even bigger maybe: Maybe I could get enough money to at least buy a crust of bread for Trevor and Tabitha to share.I hid behind the boxes in the freight yard and kept one eye on the porter, and the other on … other on the second class passenger car. The porter had his attention on the first class car, so I slipped into the gathering crowd.
Titus Hines has always taken care of others. First in protecting his brother and sister from the men his mother entertained. Even more so after her death, when the townspeople refused to help the orphans of a town prostitute. He’s been protector and provider, despite the hardships. He’s learned that no one will help, no one cares and if he wants to survive he’ll have to rely on his own strength not just for himself but his family as well.
Then a stranger shows him the kindness and help no one else seems willing to. Between her kindness and the lecture she gives the Christian Leaders, Titus’s life takes an unexpected turn for the better. With help and provision from the local believers things should be easier, his burdens are lifted. So why does it feel like life is spinning out of control?
Can Titus learn that while man may fail him there is One who will never fail? Can he learn to allow God to be the Shepherd of his life and lead him? Or will life continue to push him every which way?
This book can easily be read as a standalone. Titus was a very minor character in my novella, Blessed Assurance.

Nice story

I absolutely loved this book.
Good story. Enjoyed this book. Good family story.
This book was a surprisingly great read.
Easy reading and very inspiring.
Couldn’t put it down
It was a bit hard to believe a 13 year old was learning a financial business when he was just learning to read. Good story if that was ignored with a happy ending.
The story exposes characters but launches into “preachiness” in places. But it carries a realistic story line through the book. Lacked effective editing with numerous grammatical, spelling and cut-paste errors.
O enjoyed reading this book and was pleasantly surprised that the author one if the newer ones. The story line is great and the characters are brought into the plot well. Although some sections left questions for me, I understood where the author was going with the story. Some areas were just a little unbelievable but given the plot of the story, the point was made. Really enjoyed the quoted scriptures throughout.
Although I appreciated the faith filled story, I could tell this was written by someone with little to no life experiences. The book encompasses too many years with not enough detail to weave the story together in order to be believable.
Liked this book. Family overcoming great odds with courage and love for each other.
A positive, uplifting book.
I thoroughly enjoyed all of the characters in this book.
