Every story has a beginning and so Debra Anastasia takes her readers where it all began. The beginning of the Poughkeepsie Brotherhood series where the lives of Beckett, Blake and Cole are intertwined with one another in more ways than one. In this prequel novella, Poughkeepsie Begins, Ms. Anastasia takes us back to the time where Beckett, Blake and Cole are teenagers and in doing so, readers like myself can witness and understand that their strong friendship and brotherhood. Their ties and bond to one another was stronger than blood. I loved that author was able to showcase that these young men endured so much in their youth in which shaped them to the men that they are today. Ms. Anastasia gave readers an in-depth perspective of what these young man had endured and experienced in the foster care system. Readers were able to witness the different personalities of these young men especially Beckett's since we were able to see more of his selflessness and caring nature. So if you are looking for a series that highlights and showcases loyalty, brotherhood, unconditional love, sacrifices and redemption then I highly recommend you to read the Poughkeepsie Series. Trust me when I say that Beckett, Blake and Cole will find a way to steal your hearts.

P.S. Though Poughkeepsie Begins was a prequel to Poughkeepsie, I higly recommend you to read and start with the first book, Poughkeepsie in order to grasp, understand, and feel for the characters.
