Let It Go

This book is actually a book I had to read in school. It's about a boy named Lance (though Jared [Red] is telling the story) who has had to deal with his mother leaving him at 5 years old. Lance's dad is easy on him until he does something just plain stupid, then he beats him. His mom becomes a country singer despite her past having to raise her three younger brothers. Red also has to deal with his over-reacting dad who is always hard on him. Red's brother, Greg, did drugs and almost died. Red describes him as basically just a shell. He doesn't even know the family is there when they go to visit. Anyways, I won't spoil anymore of the story. It's such a good book and I loved reading it. It made me cry near the end actually. Read!
