RITA Award-winning author Tammy L. Gray delivers an unforgettable new series following five struggling friends in search of the true meaning of family through secrets, betrayal and the unexpected influence of an outsider…
Tyler Mitchell grew up an orphan, taken in by his best friend’s family when he was only sixteen. Even though ten years have passed, and he’s been given everything he should ever want—a loving home, an adoring girlfriend, a successful career, and lifelong friendships—Tyler has always felt a foreigner in his own life.
When a surprising phone call reveals the death of his biological grandfather, Tyler’s seemingly perfect life starts to unravel. The people he loves most in world have kept from him the greatest secret of all—knowledge of his father’s family.
Now hunting for more information about his past, Tyler discovers nothing is quite as it seems. And the definition of family is far more complicated than choosing between blood and loyalty.

"How had they become so broken?"
Ty Mitchell had loved Journey for more than seven years, so their break-up tore his soul in two. As much as he wanted to, he could not give her his whole heart, and she deserved every piece of it. Beautiful, kind, compassionate, loyal to a fault . . . . but his unresolved past continues to torment him. It mattered not that the Kinder family had welcomed him with open arms; their son Beck, becoming Tyler's best friend. Tyler longs to discover his roots and after realizing that the two people he trusted the most had secretly betrayed him, the rift between his heart and Journey's became even wider.
Journey knows that Tyler is a boat without an anchor; drifting towards a precipice that could potentially destroy him and "them". It doesn't matter how much she still loves him, it appears time to let him go. When the one thing that matters more to Tyler than his relationship with her, or with any of his friends, appears within reach, he throws logic to the wind only to realize that what he wanted more than anything else, he already had.
"If we are sons and daughters of a mighty God, why do we live our life as orphans?"
It's nice to know that this story will continue through-out a series for the author has created an entire cast of characters who are not easily forgotten. The inspirational core may seem a bit weak and there are multiple references to social drinking, but the story itself maintains a realism that is rare in inspirational fiction.
I received a copy of this book from the author; the opinions stated are entirely my own.
