'My mom leans back, smiles, and strokes my cheek. "That's all right, Charlie. Never you mind. You just got soft living with your grandparents, is all. You forgot that most people don't have it so easy--that you have to be tough to make it in this world."'

When she breaks his heart, Charlie runs away, beginning a new journey that will leave him shattered before he finally makes it to Virginia. Back with his grandparents, the return of his mother forces him to learn a bitter truth that changes his life forever.
