ABOUT THE BOOK
Josiah Tucker, the son of a substance dependent and neglectful mother, spent most of his childhood years in the custody of the State, living in foster homes throughout Atlanta, Georgia. At the age of fourteen, he was taken from the foster family that he had grown to love, the Smiths, and returned to his negligent birth mother. Enduring the hardships faced while living with his birth mother JT manages to makes something of his life. However, fifteen years after being taken from the Smiths and at the peak of success, he finds himself feeling empty and at his lowest. When he decides to reconnect with the Smiths, JT finds his faith in God renewed and discovers his attraction to his foster sister.

Book Review
In Fifteen Years, Kendra Norman-Bellamy takes a bold look into family dynamics and challenges the traditional definition of “family”.
From the opening pages, I was engaged in the life of Josiah (JT) Tucker. I related to his character on personal level, having experienced similar circumstances. The author did an excellent job of developing realistic characters with realistic struggles. I particularly enjoyed reading a novel in which the majority of the main characters are strong God-fearing men.
Fifteen Years presents many practical lessons on life. My favorites are: 1) Never judge someone without knowing their story and 2) Go get your leg!
