Book excerpt: My name is Charles, which is the true story of a boy whose life went from pure bliss. To loss, sadness, and danger in a flash of time. When Charles was three years old, his five-year-old sister Jackie, became his surrogate mother, until Jackie's untimely death in a car crash at age fifteen. Charles was thirteen at the time of Jackie's death. His parents were never around to guide him from childhood to adulthood. After his sister's death, his parents moved Charles to California, to start a new life in the San Francisco Bay Area. Where his childhood life of horror began he was fighting for his life or running for his life for the next five years. No phone, no tv, radio or mailing address. The schools Charles attended listed him as a transient child. His childhood ended at fourteen years of age. No, Friday night football games, no school dances, no girlfriends and did not go to the Prom which he found out the girl he adored was prom queen. He had to think and act like an adult to survive in the dangerous environment he was living in. When he was not fighting or running, he was begging for food at the grocery store. If not for his unending goal to return to Pueblo, Colorado to be with his girlfriend, Charles would not be alive to tell his story.
