"We bought you."
Words no child should ever hear - and yet, they became the sentence that defined his life.
Readers everywhere are calling
We Bought YOU
"heartbreaking," "healing," and "impossible to put down."
If you think you've read powerful memoirs before, think again. This one will stay under your skin long after the final page.
Raised in rural Australia under the rule of a mother obsessed with appearances and a father too weary to intervene, Will Power grew up believing love had conditions. Between farm chores, silence, and the hum of the fence line that marked the edge of his world, he learned that family could wound as deeply as it protected. He was the invisible child, the one told to be grateful for belonging, even when belonging meant pain.
But when survival becomes a habit, hope can take root in the unlikeliest places.
is the true story of a boy who was told he was property - and the man who refused to stay that way. Through trauma, faith, and the quiet power of endurance, Will finds meaning in the spaces silence tried to erase. His story is not just about surviving abuse, but about reclaiming identity, finding faith in something greater, and learning that forgiveness is the only real freedom.
Told in luminous, unflinching prose, this memoir pulls you into a world where love is currency, silence is weapon, and forgiveness is a revolution. It's a story that will break your heart, mend it, and make you question everything you thought you knew about family, faith, and fate.
Once you start, you won't believe it's real. Once you finish, you'll wish it wasn't. And when you tell someone about it - because you will - you'll realize this isn't just one man's story. It's all of ours.
