Every person's life tells a story. Some are uncomplicated, straightforward, and easy. Things fall into place with a simplicity that boggles the mind. Others twist and turn, and every day is centered on fighting and scraping, yet never finding victory. And then there are those who gain an inch only to be knocked back a foot. They love. They fight. They stumble. They fall. But through it all, they stagger to their feet, step back on life's path, and push through until they win. For these people, happiness is not an illusion. It's a truth, a promise, worth any effort, any scars, but just out of arm's reach. It stands at the end of the path, taunting and teasing, tempting them to take one more blow. And in the end, the battles make victory sweeter. More valued. More precious than ever imagined. More than any one person could hope. This is Liam's story. Loyal, protective, shoulders stronger than Atlas'. Broken, worn, battered. Win or lose, he's ready to fight for what tomorrow brings. Life. Love. Healing. Hope.
