About this listen

Diamonds from Darkness, a boy with a big heart and even bigger challenges! Born on a warm October day in 1968, Thomas's early life is filled with love but also struggles. After his mother’s battle with postpartum depression, he finds comfort with his grandmother. As he grows, he experiences the joy of family, the thrill of his first birthday, and the excitement of a new brother, Joseph. But with joy comes jealousy, and sharing attention isn’t easy! In kindergarten, Thomas quickly learns to read, but his dyslexia makes things tough. When his family moves to the quieter town of Glenburn, he feels out of place among wealthier kids. With the help of his best friend, Steven, he finds his way—through pranks, mischief, and even standing up to bullies. As Thomas goes through the ups and downs of childhood, he learns about loyalty, friendship, and understanding his feelings. Join him on a heartfelt adventure filled with laughter, lessons, and the quest for love and acceptance. Will Thomas find his place in the world? Listen to his story and find out!
