Summary
Don’t ask, don’t tell.
To eight-year-old Evan Buckley, those weren't just words; they were a survival manual. If he didn't ask for help, the teachers wouldn't notice the bruises. If he didn't tell the truth about his father's "punishments," he might live to see another morning at the duck pond.
But on a cold Halloween night, Evan's silence finally breaks. He doesn't expect to be found by Captain Bobby Nash. He doesn't expect the warmth of a turnout coat that’s three sizes too big, or a paramedic who makes him laugh when he wants to cry. And he certainly doesn't expect the fierce, protective gaze of Sergeant Athena Grant, who decides the moment she sees those wide blue eyes that the boy is never going back to that house again
or How Bobby and Athena become the parents of Buck
