Hidden Stars (Paperback)


Where do you turn when your family life is filled with chaos--when the people who should love you most are the people who understand you least? This is life for eleven-year-old Tim, who, along with his sister, Stacey, have found a respite from their tumultuous home life in an unexpected way. Tim adores his aging grandfather, who sees many of his own personality traits in Tim. Unfortunately, it is many of these same traits that cause the ever-present emotional conflict with his parents. During an overnight visit with his grandparents, Tim's grandfather tries to teach him that it's okay to like who he is and to believe that he is a good person. It seems to make an impact on Tim, who feels self-assured and competent when he's with his grandfather, feelings that, up till now, his parents' bickering and selfish belittlement have bashed into obscurity. In the midst of this emotional upheaval, Tim struggles to find the inner strength to be the person he is, until tragedy strikes and changes his life, and his family, forever.
