Living in poverty on the banks Of the Missouri River brought hardships, disappointments. challenges that caused separation , But love made my family stronger. I couldn’t imagine anything tearing us apart. But on that cool April day as I followed the River deep in the woods, I found out I was very much mistaken. A secret buried so deep could destroy that love, and It was left to me to keep it buried or reveal it. A hard decision for a fourteen year old, I just pray I make the right decision.
