What is The Missing Piece of Me about?

After my parents died in a fire, I grew up in the foster care, aged out, and became a fire fighter myself. And I’ve built a good life for myself. Great job, nice home, good friends. I’m... happy. Except for the one day each year—my little brother’s birthday—when I let myself unlock the memories that hurt. Memories of him . My little Newt. He was just two years old when our parents died. He didn’t even remember them, which meant he only had me. I was thirteen, and Newt was all I had left, the most important person in my whole world. The one person I swore I’d never let down. But the foster system didn’t care about my promises. They also didn’t care about keeping us together. And eventually, they took him away from me altogether. I tried to find him once I turned eighteen, but it was impossible. He was lost forever, and a piece of my heart went missing right along with him. A piece I’ll never get back. That was ten years ago. I moved across the country. I built this life for myself. And out here, nobody knows I even have a brother, because it hurts too much to remember what I lost. Well, one person knows. My best friend, Leon. But only because he walked in on me while I was drowning
