When he meets Matthew, he sees in him a person who recognizes him as important, even special. He doesn't know how he will do it, but he intends to prove them wrong. He refuses to be 'no one' as his step-family often proclaims. Noah has a humility that makes him an admirable person to those who care to value it. Even without formal schooling, he had more sense than those around him. He didn't give up, he kept going when other people would have crumpled. I questioned how he could remain in that situation for so long undetected, but it was more than fear for himself that kept him in place it was his incredible, abiding compassion for his grandmother which kept him from acting. The abuse that Noah endured broke my heart. Inside, he's still a sweet, loving, generous, nurturing person he's always intended to be. Even though his future seems bleak, Noah doesn't break. The firm foundation set in his formative years has already begun to shape the person he will become. But Noah is far stronger than she anticipated. He ends up trapped in a nightmare complete with a wicked stepmother who makes him work like a slave, determined to squeeze every ounce of goodness out of his life. Just like in the fairy tale of Cinderella, Noah, in 'Out of the Ashes' by Olivia Duncan Craig, loses first his mother, then his father. One minute all is well and we're happy then in the next, some tragic event comes along and our happiness and well-being disappears.

He may not have a fairy godmother helping him, but magic can come in many forms.Life is definitely cruel sometimes. Now all Noah has to do is make his Prince Charming aware he exists, triumph over his evil stepmother, and claim the love he so richly deserves. It’s love at first sight, at least as far as Noah is concerned.

Until one day, Matthew, a handsome neighbor, comes riding up to him like a knight on his charger. The next, his father is dead, his grandmother is confined to her sickbed, and the only other family he has left is his new stepmother and her two children.Taken far from his home, worked hard and hidden away from the world, Noah hasn’t much to look forward to, growing up. One minute, he was living, happy and secure, with a doting father and grandmother to look after him. Young Noah hadn’t any idea how quickly his world could turn upside down.
