Forged by Fire

Forged by Fire is a battle book by Sharon Draper. It is about a boy named Gerald and the hardships he has to go through from age 3-17. After he is taken away from his drug addict mom, he ends up with his sweet Great Aunt Queen. All of a sudden, Gerald is nine and his mom comes back from rehab. This time she has a husband named Jordan Sparks. Isn't that ironic? Anyway, Gerald gets to meet his step sister Angel. But when his aunt dies, he is stuck with his mom and abusive step father. Then Gerald finds out that Jordan has been sexually abusing Angel. He ends up in jail for molester and is gone for 9 months. Later on he comes back when Angel is twelve and Gerald is 16. You will have to read the book to find out what happens next. (P.S. I rate this book a 9.9 :p :) 8=) )
