Cody was just a kid...only days from his 13th birthday. He had a pretty fair "rep" at school, some good friends, and a sweet and attractive girlfriend - Emily. Life should have been good. Except for one thing. All too often, Cody's father terrorized him. And if his mother tried to intervene on her son's behalf, she suffered horrible beatings. Pushed beyond the threshold of where a young boy should ever have to go, Cody took things into his own hands - with disastrous results. Theft of Innocence is a story about love, violence, fear, redemption and hope.
