Things We Lost 1. Things We Lost

I read start to finish in one setting.   I’m not ashamed to admit I had tears on more than one passage.   This story has triggers, but if you’re able to transcend them then I can not recommend this story enough.   What an excellent author; what an excellent story  he/she told.   

This is one of my favorite stories on GA. Dabeagle just has a knack  when drawing you into a story.

Ehren comes from the life of hard knocks. He’s trying to survive the streets and stay alive. As bad as life is, Ehren comes to the aid of a girl in need. This leads him to her brother Tris. Can Ehren and Tris overcome obstacles to be together? Main obstacle being very different circumstances.

I guarantee you will fall in love with Ehren and this story.

Ehren has missed out on most of the important stuff many of us take for granted: loving parents, a home, the chance to have friends, go to school, have enough to eat, clean clothes and a shower as needed. Living on the streets is a hard life, but he’s clever and resourceful.

On the day we meet him, he makes a snap decision to help a girl in need, in spite of being scared of the potential consequences. The ripples from this first stone are complicated further when Ehren flings another daring missile, and life as he knows it unravels around him. But luckily he has made friends who are loyal to him, and we keep hoping he'll gain some of the things he's lost.

Dabeagle writes great stories, but I think this will always be my favorite. I hope he'll return to Ehren one day, to let us know how he's doing.

Give up now and just plan on bingeing the whole thing.  It's not that long.

This is really sweet (I might even consider it cute) love story, which also happens to ramp up the drama pretty quickly and never let up until the very end.  Ehren and Tris are both kind of adorable, but it takes more than that for Ehren to overcome his expectations of the world and people in it and risk everything.

I'm now going to check out what else @Dabeagle has written, because if this is anything to go by, I want it.
