What can you do when all you have is your faith to rely on? When you have faith then it means that you have complete trust in God. In the book, “The Road” written by Cormac McCarthy is about a father and son that goes through hardship throughout the story. This book changed my perspective on many things in my life.

My mother clothed and fed me while he lived his own life somewhere else. I’ve lived with my mother all my life and she has done an amazing job to be a single
