Take Me There, by Carolee Dean

Dylan Dawson finds himself on the wrong side of the law too many times, in Take Me There by Carolee Dean. This is the story of Dylan being tired of living life on the run, Dylan and his good pale, Wade, try to start fresh and keep out of trouble's way. However, after a life full of bad choices and bad acquaintances, trouble keeps finding them. As you read of Dylan's past you also learn about the present and what he is doing through. Dylan is determined to get to know who his father really is. You feel all the anger and frustration Dylan goes through.

This rollercoaster of a story had the book stuck to my hand. I couldn't put it down. This is by far one of the best realistic fiction books that I have read in a long time. I enjoyed the way the story was told, going from past to present with sprinkles of his father's story in between. It is told honestly and truthfully and is actually quite inspriing. I have and will definitely recommend this book.
