And as Jack prepares for his next school, he has just heard its even worse.By now, he is having to contend with a weak father who responds to his questions with a gibberish answer, and a strong mother who is unable to show her love, and a brother who couldnt care less. Jack has no one to turn to for help and thinks of ending his life. But he cant summon the courage to do it.If he only knew what challenges life has in store for him, maybe he would have found the courage to do it. But then he would have missed all the good things and the chance to find love, in the one place he never thought to look. The Urban Soldier by Maurice Northmore
