The news slammed into Ben with the force of a tidal wave. He had a family. He was flooded with a feeling that made his skin tingle, his muscles ache for action. He had to *do* something. He had to find them.

He dug out a dusty old map. He started driving. Every mile felt like a victory. Every new town felt like a step forward. He’d never felt so certain of anything in his life. He felt a new strength, a new purpose.

He drove for a week and found them. He found a new family, and he finally felt like he belonged.
