Justin is the true story of Justin Blue. He begins his life in a stable home under the watchful eyes of a loving grandmother. After his parents move away from her farm he is plunged into a nightmare of abuse and neglect. Justins memory of his Native American grandmother provides him with a strong spirit and will to overcome his circumstances. Justin is routinely abused and tormented but refuses to allow the essence of his nature to be destroyed. Justin endures his childhood years emotionally isolated and longing for love. Though often dejected he does not allow his spirit to be destroyed. Though Justins story captures the misery of being abused it offers hope for those who have suffered and survived the same distress. It is a wonderful story of healing through the power of forgiveness.
