How can any book cover accurately express the agonizing pain a man must endure when the world has stripped him of the one thing that he cherishes? Can a book cover ever properly convey the true extent of the evil and meanness held in the hearts of man? Could it ever display the strength of the human spirit to continue to fight in a soul crushing battle, holding on against all odds with only self belief and a father's undying love to sustain a person?It cannot.It would be an insult to anyone who has ever suffered a heart breaking loss to even try.
