Bound to get there : or, A boy who could not be downed

There comes a moment in every life when the world lays you low and waits to see if you'll stay there. This is the story of a boy who answered differently. Through hardship and setback, through every force that conspired to break him, he kept getting back up. Not because victory was guaranteed, but because the act of trying itself became his answer to a world that demanded his surrender. Roy Franklin crafts a deceptively simple tale about resilience, the kind that doesn't announce itself with fanfare but simply persists, stubborn and quiet, until the impossible becomes inevitable. This is underdog literature at its most elemental: a portrait of determination as a form of dignity.
