Currently on pg. 117 chapter 6

Joseph Brooks is 13 years old and he is a father. His daughter's name is Jupiter. Jupiter's mother died in childbirth. Joseph's father abuses him and the state of Maine has removed him from his home. Now in foster care, Joseph is beginning to heal. He wants to see his daughter. An amazing story! I am carrying around the book hoping for a minute or two to read a couple of pages.
