Book 1 of Finding A Home Series
*****
Cailen has only one wish.
To have a family he could belong to and a home to call his.
*****
At thirteen, Cailen had been to different foster homes, each of them returning him for one reason or the other.
His heart had already taken so much rejection that hopelessness had set in, giving up on himself and shutting down- that even when a family does welcome him and love him- he still has his doubts.
When Cailen returns from University to visit his family, he finds himself struggling to keep a secret that he knows will make him lose the only home and family that he has.
Will Cailen lose himself? Or will he lose his family?
Thank you, author, for creating this masterpiece! This is the first LGBTQA+ story that I've finished and I really enjoyed reading this. Everything about this story is wonderful.
