  Summary

  ‘Maybe even second chances can't change the way I feel inside. What I've experienced has broken me, and nothing seems to hold me together.’

  Heino is raped of his life and body, yet the God he feared more than anything now—afraid he’d punish him more than before—seemingly gives him a second chance at life.

  Yet despite the man, Bowie, who takes him in and gives him a place to call a home, Heino is unable to forget what still feels current to him.

  But will time and space, or comfort and support ever be enough to ‘save’ Heino from his own experiences?
