Description
The fostering system, as we all know, is flawed. In several areas, drastic improvements need to take place, but nobody has done anything about them. One young black boy brought to America from Africa through the fostering system is subjected to said system, where incompetent doctors fail to realize what's wrong with him until it's too late. He lives the first sixteen years of his life completely free from knowing what the system had forsaken him years ago. He lived happily, although he and his mom struggled to pay the bills after his dad dies an untimely death, but he had his boyfriend, his rock Kristian to pull him through the worst of it. This was The Bliss. But then he learns just what the system has betrayed him of, and his life takes a drastic turn. This was The Know. After he finds out, everything in his life goes downhill from there. This is The Agony.
