Walk to Beautiful: The Power of Love and a Homeless Kid Who Found the Way Audiobook, by Jimmy Wayne

Publisher Description

The Salvation Army Angel Tree program gives individuals, groups and corporations an opportunity to adopt less fortunate children and seniors, and provide personalized gifts and necessities to those who would otherwise receive very little or nothing during the holiday season. When his mom decided it was time for them to leave for good, Thomas knew they better get far away or he’d come and find them. It was Christmas Day, with Mom sweating in a tiny room over a tiny stove, and Dad watching college basketball and drinking with a vengeance. “Thomas, I want you to get your sister and go out to the car, okay?” Mom had promised them that they would be getting a special Christmas present today. Just the two kids. They couldn’t mention it to Dad. This is her present, Thomas thought as he waited and worried that the next one out of the house would be the man with the glassy eyes and the tightened jaw. The car left without hesitation. Thomas and Sara had received the best gift ever: freedom. The question was whether it would still be there tomorrow and the next day and the day after that.

"I think the book was great. It was engaging. It has lots of short chapters. I had not been much of a reader since childhood but, I knew I just needed the right book. This was it. I read it with a friend of mine.I was busy at the time. She was busier. We will read the sequel if or when it comes out. We took turns sharing our impression. I'd recommended it to people who like books about people with a community spirit."
