Rescued #736744

In the heart of Nassau County, NY, young Jay Gardner is a living specter — alive but invisible to those who should love him most.
Abandoned by his family, Jay finds solace and education in an unlikely teacher: the television. With each show, song, and dance, he absorbs the world around him, unveiling a prodigious intellect that bridges the divide between humans, animals, and even the departed.
Guided by unexpected allies, from compassionate strangers to a sensei with transformative powers, Jay embarks on a journey from neglected child to a man who wears multiple hats: a PhD holder, a celebrated author, and a martial arts master.
The first book in G. Miki Hayden's Rebirth series, RESCUED is a story of love, loss, and relentless resilience, and a testament to the enduring human spirit.
