forged by fire

Forged By Fire by Sharon M. Draper is a sad tale about child abuse. When Gerald was a young boy, he was constantly left alone in the house without any supervision. He would not have any food to eat and when it was cold he would be shivering. One day when his mother, Monique left him home alone, he accidentally started a fire and it almost killed him. Luckily he was saved and his mother was arrested for child abandonment.

Gerald was sent to live with his aunt. Aunt Queen took him in and raised him herself. She showed him love and what it really feels like to be in a family. He quickly adapted to the lifestyle and he loved his aunt very much. After his life finally got back on track, his abusive mother got out of jail. She said she wanted to come and visit her son. Gerald was angry because he remembered the tragic and bad memories of his mother and the house. He didn't want to see her or even go back and live with her. Aunt Queen told Gerald not to worry because if he didn't want to live with her he didn't have to. Later that day, Aunt Queen had a heart attack and passed away.
