One minute ten-year-old Skip Quincy was riding in the backseat of his parents’ car, the next, he woke up in Little Angels orphanage. Within six months, he was adopted. He was welcomed by Mrs. Quincy, the woman he learned to call “mom”, but Mr. Quincy wasn’t a fan. Athletically gifted early on, Skip pursued baseball.

Would Elena risk everything for him, or sell him down the river to get ahead? Caution: Locker room language.
