TyShawn Bradley believed he’d been adopted into the perfect family. That was until he and his siblings landed back into State Custody. Many obstacles, including family, seemed to be against him. He’d do anything, even traveling across the states unsupervised on a long adventurous and zany trip, to keep his family together. If only his sister, Nakia, would act right. Her poor decisions put the entire family in danger. If only his parents, John and Sister, hadn’t left for vacation things would be all good. Although Sister needed a break after a devastating family loss, leaving the kids with Nakia for a few hours was not the best plan.
With all the impossibilities that they all faced, there’s a much stronger force driving TyShawn. No matter what, he made it his business to be, “The Best Brother” for the family he loves.
