Along the way, she learns patience, empathy, and resilience, forming deep bonds with residents and co-workers alike.

Harry was never wanted. Thrown into a dumpster as a baby, shuffled through countless foster homes as a child, and locked away in psychiatric wards and closed institutions as a teenager. He's loud, angry, uncontrollable - and no one sees that his rage is just a scream for love. To the authorities, he's a "system crasher," a hopeless case. To Harry, the world is a place that keeps tearing him apart. Then he meets Louis - a boy who doesn't look away, who doesn't give up, and who isn't scared off by Harry's walls. Louis doesn't diagnose. He asks questions. He listens. And for the first time, Harry wonders: What if closeness doesn't have to hurt? What if he's allowed to be someone? While the system keeps failing - while experts, caseworkers, and police fill out reports - two boys fight something bigger than love: trauma. Fear. And the belief that they're worthless. A harrowing yet tender novel about a child nobody wanted - and a boy who chooses to love him anyway. This story contains explicit content involving violence, abuse, and rape. Read at your own risk.
