The Foundation Of What Could've Been [Large Print]

By Joshua B Goad

Joshua has spent his entire life learning one lesson:

Love hurts.

When the young boy is rescued from severe abuse and placed into protective custody, he expects nothing from the police officer assigned to him. Certainly not kindness. Certainly not patience.

Officer Noland never planned on becoming a father.

Yet from the moment Joshua quietly reaches for his hand, both of their lives begin to change.

Healing, however, is never simple.

Nightmares steal peaceful sleep. Bedwetting brings overwhelming shame. Panic attacks, flashbacks, and heartbreaking misunderstandings threaten the fragile bond they're desperately trying to build. Every small victory is followed by another obstacle, forcing both Joshua and Noland to confront wounds neither of them fully understands.

As the past refuses to let go-and a custody battle threatens to tear them apart-they discover that family isn't always defined by blood.

Sometimes it's built one bedtime story...

One hug...

One promise kept...

One safe hand at a time.

Heartbreaking, hopeful, and deeply compassionate, The Foundation Of What Could've Been is an emotional journey through childhood trauma, recovery, unconditional love, and the extraordinary courage it takes to believe someone will stay.

Because sometimes...

the family you need most...

is the one that chooses you.
