Paige Caldwell grew up in an idealistic home but stood out as the family rebel. Her life revolved around lectures and disappointments. She had a low tolerance for most people and chose to live her life without rules or expectations. Lying was second nature and bitterness consumed her, but two special people saw through all that attitude and gave her hope. One was her brother and the other is her son. Without them, Paige felt she had no reason to exist. She tried so long to stay strong even though life had been cruel. Hope faced her every day, but an internal battle took its toll. Despite being his mother's son, Cole was close to perfect. In fact, he has the purest heart and soul on earth according to his mother. She has no idea how he came from her, or at least that's what she claims to anyone that will listen. Honesty was never her strong suit, and her son doesn't know everything despite his superior intelligence. She made a promise to herself he'd have the whole truth one day.
.
It's time, but time is cruel and unyielding. Time is basically up.
.
Cole grew up with an unconventional life but somehow developed a consistent personality. He loved his mother despite her faults. Often, it was unclear who the real parent was, but it was always evident who behaved like a spoiled child. Life was never easy for them because she was rarely rational, but one fateful day Cole found a box chronicling their lives. The content of the box had all the answers he'd longed for since he was a boy. He wasn't sure he was ready to hear the way Paige saw things. He certainly wasn't ready to see the conclusion in black and white even though he knew full well the sorrowful ending before he began the story. This isn't the classic coming of age tale chronicling a boy as he grows into a man. This is an anthem of survival.
