About the Book Forged By Fire
Forged By Fire tells the story of Gerald Nickelby, a young boy whose life is marred by hardship from an early age. The novel begins with Gerald's tragic accident caused by his mother's negligence, leading to his temporary placement with his loving Aunt Queen. Aunt Queen's nurturing environment offers Gerald a semblance of normalcy and stability.
However, this fragile peace is shattered when Aunt Queen passes away, forcing Gerald to return to his mother, Monique, and her abusive boyfriend, Jordan. Living under the same roof as Jordan, who poses a constant threat to Gerald and his younger half-sister, Angel, thrusts Gerald back into a world of fear and violence.
Despite these challenges, Gerald's resilience shines through as he navigates the treacherous waters of his adolescence. He finds solace in basketball, his close friendship with Rob, and his determination to protect Angel from Jordan's predatory advances. The novel culminates in a climactic confrontation with Jordan, highlighting themes of courage and the enduring fight for justice.
