HOOK
“Dad,’ I said soberly. ‘If I were to ask you to do something really strange, but I said it was the most important thing in the whole world to me, would you do it?’ ‘My father kind of chuckled and said, ‘It depends if it’s legal or not, I guess. I had to grin.’ It’s legal. ‘Then-yeah sure. ‘He brought his arms down and sat up. ‘If it was really important to you, son.’ Then grin slid off my face. ‘Then I need to ask you.’ Dad leaned forward, listening. I hesitated because I knew that once I said something, I could never take it back. And that everything- and everyone-will be changed by it.” (Beginning page- A Powerful Secret)
