Jordan was very angered to discover that Angel's bed was broken, but the children enjoyed laughing at his expence. Angel became close with Tiger, her new pet cat, but while she was sick and alone with Jordan, it dissapeared. Angel had no idea where Tiger would have went. After Jordan made Angel take off her shirt for his own sadistic pleasure, he let her know that her cat was in the oven. She quickly retrieved her cat from the oven, who was luckily fine, and clung to it and wept.
It is greatly apparent that Jordan has massive issues. I am deeply disgusted by what he has done, and I hope that he will soon be served justice with a fork.

Chapter 9- Forged by Fire
It is Christmas Day, and Gerald has seen Jordan leave Angel's room. He goes in to her room to discover that she has been abused once more. Gerald did his best to comfort her, and tried to tell her that they should tell somebody about what's happening. Yet, Jordan told her that he would hurt their mom, Gerald, and her as well. Gerald decided to take out a couple bolts out from Angel's bed so that it would break, and she could move into his room to sleep in. For Christmas, Jordan and Monique gave Angel a cat, which she named Tiger.
Hopefully, Gerald will build up the courage to speak to somebody about the abuse they are getting from Jordan, and things may soon be resolved.

Chapter 8- Forged by Fire
It been six months since Aunt Queen's funeral. Gerald is still struggling after the loss of his Aunt Queen, and is deeply saddened everyday. It turns out that Jordan is an abusive person, and he hits Gerald, Angel, and most likely Monique as well. Gerald, although not all too old or strong, tries his best to protect Angel when Jordan is abusing her. Monique scurries around cowardly, doing her best to please Jordan. Later in the chapter, Gerald walks in on Jordan sexually abusing Angel, which greatly angered both Gerald and Jordan. Jordan left, and Gerald went to comfort Angel. This chapter made me feel really bad for the children, but greatly for Angel, who has no way of protecting herself.
Chapter 7- Forged by Fire
Angel and Gerald find Aunt Queen on the floor, and quickly call an ambulance. Aunt Queen was rushed to the hospital while Monique, Jordan, Angel, and Gerald drove there in the car. At the hospital, Gerald receives the bad news that his Aunt Queen has fully passed away. Knowing that Aunt Queen is dead, it is certain that Gerald and Angel will be moving in with Jordan and Monique.
It seems that whenever there is great happiness, there soon must be the opposite. In this book, there have been times when things were bright and uplifting, and then times when it was greatly depressing. Yet, I guess that brings me to think of the saying and fact, what goes up, must come down. This saying is very true for this emotional roller coaster of a book.

Chapter 5 and 6- Forged by Fire
In Chapter five, we meet new characters and revisit old ones. Monique is Geralds mother, Jordan is her husband, and Angel is their young daughter. Jordan, Monique, and Angel all visited Gerald and Aunt Queen for breakfast at Aunt Queen's house, and Monique is selfish enough to blurt out that Gerald will be living with them. This news didn't go very well with Gerald. The chapter ended with him angry at his mother, he stormed out, and Monique and Jordan left, but left Angel at home with Aunt Queen. In the 6th chapter, Aunt Queen discovers that Angel has obviously been abused, when she sees that Angel is very afraid to be touched by Aunt Queen, and she feared to take off her black stockings because she was afraid that her mom would "get" her. Later in the chapter, Gerald and Angel go outside and bond. Yet sadly, while this is happening, Aunt Queen passes away inside.
It seems that Jordan is not a very good man, and this may be one of Gerald's new troubles in his hard life. I thought that his troubles were over, and I feel that now, sadly, they are far from that. I wish that Aunt Queen would have stayed alive so that she could end up taking care of Gerald and Angel. However, now that she is gone, I fear that hard times are on their way for the both of them.
