Because of You by David Horne

Zackary Mason was adopted at the age of six by a couple who couldn’t have children of their own. They were aware that Zack had an anxiety disorder but from what they didn’t know.

After the adoption and a year spent gaining the small boy’s trust, the family moved to a cul-de-sac where Thomas Oliver Miller strives to befriend the new boy, Zackary Mason.

As the years go by, friendships strengthen and feelings grow. However, a betrayal sends Zack into the arms of the military. Tension rises when communication with Zack is lost, but when love has a chance to grow, good things blossom.
