Dawning Secrets
For 17 years, ever since he was 10, Shadawn Van River has been living his life hoping to see the light at
the end of the tunnel. But with each passing year, his hope diminished to that of a dream out of his
reach. Living in a house dictated by his unpredictably Alcoholic father and manipulative abusive older
brother has extracted from him every ability he has to feel any happiness. As things pummel out of
control, Shadawn is finally giving up. Giving up on happiness, giving up on himself, giving up on
everything, and definitely giving up on his life.
That is, until he gets a visit from the police.
The visit informed him of the death of his father.
As Morbid and inhumane as it sounds, the news indeed was the only verbal utterance that ever brought
him such happiness.
He was finally free.
Finally free from his father and especially from Liam, his older brother.
Being placed at an orphanage was not a walk in a park, yet he felt safe and was safe. That is until his
social worker boards them a ticket to drop him off at his Mother's family.
Shadawn thought dealing with one brother was torture, but seeing now that he had four more brothers
and a sister at the end of his plane ride revived his constant fears. A new family, a new school, yet,
comes back into his life is a presence he thought he'll never feel again. His Ex-bestfriend. Every single
new presence in his life has a secret. Secrets so big, that are meant to be kept a secret. Hiding his own
secret was something shadawn could do in a breeze, however, will his old friend let the cat out of the
bag?
Will this be the dawn of a new beginning?
or
The dawn of realizing life for him on earth was not worth living.
