They called him too skinny, too bookish, too weak. They were about to find out how wrong they were.John has always been the scholar, the quiet boy with his nose in a book whom nobody picks for the team. He's used to being underestimated. What he isn't ready for is betrayal.When a man his family trusted as a friend steals their home out from under them, John's world is turned upside down. His parents are heartbroken. Their future is gone. And the boy everyone dismissed decides he's finished being the one who gets pushed around.With every doubter watching and every odd stacked against him, John sets out to prove that strength isn't measured in muscle, but in heart, discipline and a faith that refuses to quit.Uplifting, heartfelt and impossible to put down, John is an underdog story for anyone who has ever been underestimated, and for every family that has had to rebuild after losing everything.Part of Emunah Short Stories by Janice Wee, in the Emunah Chronicles universe.
