How unfair the world is. How we miss the point entirely, going by what we are taught rather than what we see. Real beauty lies behind the surface — and this book never lets you forget it.
These were just kids. Never seen as one. Treated as monsters their whole lives yet they held their own, saw hope even when the world was against them. Talia noticed a kid waving at her despite his mother pulling him away, calling her a monster. That moment broke me. A child's instinct to connect, crushed by an adult's fear.
And then there's Lucy. Six years old, called a monster, feared by the world. Yet when a shopkeeper's hatred sends Sal spiraling into a frightened Pomeranian, it's Lucy who stands between them — daring the world to make a move, claiming Sal as his brother. That's loyalty. That's resilience. And it comes from the kid the world fears most.
And then there's Baker. A by the book caseworker who breaks every rule, fights for these kids and comes back. Not to a place. To a feeling. Home.
We are a conventional world, stubbornly sticking to what we are taught. The show more ideologies are backdated and don't do any good for society. We fail to challenge them, to question the norms, to simply be open minded.
This book dares you to do exactly that.
