A Story of Survival is based on the fictional character Steven Moyer. Steven had a typical, average teenager's life until an untimely car accident claimed the lives of both his parents. When his immediate family refused to take him into their homes and care for him, a young and naive Steven was forced into the vile foster care system.

Being carted from one foster home to the next; over a dozen times in the last two years, has made it difficult for Steven to make friends or fit into any family unit.
 
Now in his teens, he is abruptly placed with Mr. and Mrs. Jones, and although he is immediately made to feel welcome, once the case worker leaves, the Jones reveal their true colors. He begins to experience slight signs of child abuse, but over time the abuse escalates from pushing and shoving to full blown beatings.
 
Now, with no other choice, Steven is forced to make the hardest decision of his life; escape or continue to experience the daily abuse that could one day cost him his life.
 
This powerful story takes the reader through the daily drama of a teenager's life through his own personal memoirs. Experience Steven's pain firsthand as you read through his journal entries during this horrific time in his life.
