Book Cover & Preview Text
Isaiah is strong. Stronger than me. Possibly stronger than I will ever be. Maybe I am weak. But to be the leader of Cliff Point you have to be strong. I guess I was only pretending. As I watch Isaiah move around the bedroom I can’t help but think that being with him made me stronger. He has never acted as if I’m weak. He tells me I’m strong all the time. But the problem is do I believe him? I don’t see myself as strong anymore. Now that I’ve left Cliff Point, I don’t feel the need to be strong and mean. But I still have that fire I need to be that way.
