Description

This is a story of Denny's coming of age against all odds. It's a story of hope for an unwanted child. And it's a tale of setbacks, resilience, and how adults can positively influence wayward teens and gently guide them towards a hopeful future. Think of the confusion when the woman you once called mom has been married at least eight times, has many affairs, and moves on from one town to the next...leaving you behind every time? Consider the shock when you learn that your mysterious missing dad has an 89-page FBI file and has been on the run for seemingly serious crimes that you had no clue about. That was the world Denny Ertell faced. A young boy abandoned by his parents and who hitchhiked his way across the United States to create a new life for himself and made his own way in San Bernardino, California.
