Destiny Lives on Fairhaven Street - C. J. Hudson - Bog

Winner of Over 16 Book Awards
His abusive family tore him away from her. Would destiny be enough to bring him back?
At ten years old, Chris didn't have good looks, a caring family, or a bright future. But what he did have for three years was the love of Danielle, his beautiful neighbor on Fairhaven Street who showed him a glimpse of a life he desperately wanted.
To escape his abusive father, Chris was forced to move out of state with his mother to the icy hills of Michigan. All he could leave Danielle with was half of a heart-shaped pendant and a promise that he would one day return for her. To have any chance of getting her back, he would have to end over one hundred years of abuse in his family, something his mother claimed he was destined to carry on. For eight years, all he had to keep going was his half of the pendant, which had tarnished heavily from years of his refusal to take it off.
Destiny Lives on Fairhaven Street is a touching multi-award-winning memoir from author C.J. Hudson of his eight-year journey of preparation to return to the love of his life. Written to his twin sons, his story is a testament to the power of devotion and proof that the life you've always wanted is possible if you never give up.
