A place to begin trusting

Jaden’s repeated moves through foster homes shape his expectation that promises of safety will not last. His placement with the Ortegas brings that guardedness into a new household, where Mrs. Ortega’s persistence and a quiet room set aside for him become part of his gradual reconsideration of what home can mean. The description centers the story on foster care, trauma, trust, and the possibility of feeling secure when someone continues to believe in you. It presents safety not only as shelter, but as a relationship that takes time to accept.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about foster care and family.
  • Readers seeking fiction that explores trauma, trust, and belonging.

Book overview

"What do you need, Jaden?" she asked.

And for the first time, he didn't know how to answer.

Jaden has been through more foster homes than he can count. Each one promises safety, but all he feels is anger - and he's learned the hard way not to trust anyone.When he's sent to live with the Ortegas, he's sure it'll be the same story. He keeps his walls up, his fists ready, and his heart locked. But Mrs. Ortega doesn't give up, even when he explodes.And then she shows him a quiet room. A place just for him. A place where he can finally feel.Step by step, Jaden begins to see that maybe home isn't just a place you live - it's where someone believes in you, no matter what.

A powerful and heartfelt story about trauma, trust, and the courage it takes to find your safe place.
