When the Road Ends Bob Malinak

Ricky Braddock is a prime example of what happens when hard work meets determination. Faced with what some would perceive as an insurmountable roadblock, he got back up again with a little help from his tough-as-nails lawyer of a mother. He'd lost his career, and his desire to live. There was nowhere else to go but up. Wrapped in the arms of a grief that he just couldn't shake, he decided that work and lots of it was the answer to his perpetual sadness. But work held a lot more for him than he expected and in the midst of his pain, he reached out to help a young kid who was headed straight for the penitentiary. Tim Henderson was a troubled teen who was dealing with his own loss, the sudden death of his twin sister. Blaming himself for her unfortunate demise, he became overtly rebellious and belligerent to anyone in a position of authority. Will Ricky be able to help this stubborn kid who is so full of pain see a better future for himself or will the road end for him at the prison door? When the Road Ends is the sequel to Roadblocks, The Ricky Braddock Story. This inspirational novel is a modern day story of the redemption of Ricky Braddock and the emergence of Tim Henderson. Both find out that life's journey is full of ups and downs. But it isn't how you started your journey that's important, it's where you're at when the road ends that is the true measure of a real man.
