Seventeen-year-old Cameron Brooks has spent three years doing what the adults around him could not: keeping the lights on, getting his little sister to school, and holding their family together.Now he has been called to testify in a family-court hearing that could permanently separate eight-year-old Talia from their mother.After ninety-four days of sobriety, Renee Brooks believes she deserves the opportunity to rebuild what addiction and grief nearly destroyed. Social Services believes Talia has already been placed in danger too many times. Cameron is caught between them, knowing that every answer he gives could protect one person he loves while hurting another.The courtroom wants facts: dates, phone records, missed school days, and simple yes-or-no answers. But behind each answer is a memory the official record cannot contain-and a childhood Cameron can never get back.Told through tense courtroom testimony and Cameron’s raw, deeply personal memories, For the Record is a powerful young-adult story about addiction, foster care, family loyalty, and the teenagers forced to become adults long before they are ready.Cameron is not the one on trial. By the end of the hearing, however, everyone must confront what it truly cost him to keep his family alive.
