Between Brothers Read online

  As he moved about more freely than he’d been able to for the last week, O. J. felt the warm, loving faces of his friends and family and allowed himself to relish the unique bond he had developed with the men surrounding him. He would leave town tomorrow a changed man. Hard times, including teacher certification, facing down his church, and mending fences with old conquests, loomed ahead of him like a storm cloud. But he knew, in that instant, that he had the strength to survive and even overcome those obstacles and more. Fate had pushed him to start with a clean slate, and like the friends around him, he was going to make the most of his.
