Mocked for his worn sneakers, judged at his gas station job, and sidelined by self-doubt, Jevaughn found strength in his parents' sacrifices, the rhythm of running, and small acts of kindness that lit his path.

Perfect for silent fighters seeking hope, How I Kept Going When No One Cared proves you don't need a spotlight to shine.
