One day Danny found his mother bruised and bloody, when his drunken, evil stepfather burst in and reached to seize him. Instinctively, Danny jumped aside. He realized what had happened to his brothers and what was about to happen to him. He ran as fast as his legs would carry him. With no no money, no family, and no place to go, he stowed away on a ship, not knowing where he would wind up. "Anywhere, anything, I have no life here," he said. Little did he know his actions would save many thousands of lives. It all started at the Korean War memorial ceremony for ten-year-old Danny. "They didn't even bring his body back," he said. "Nobody cares about me. All the hugs are fake", he felt. So he lit out the church's back door. Days later, the police found him. Mama came to the door and told Danny, "This is Buford, he's your new daddy." "Where's my brothers?" asked Danny. Mama didn't answer. Danny's descent into hell was about to begin.
