The Resolution of Callie and Kayden is heart-warming tale of triumph over adversity and a gut-wrenching look at the scars that adversity has left behind. 
 Still recovering from being raped by her brother's friend at age 12, Callie seems much further along in the process of getting better. She's even optimistic, dreaming of getting out of the dorm and into an apartment with Kayden. There's talk of future there, and even though she has her moments, she has grown so much, as evidenced by a chance meeting with someone she'd rather forget. I really liked her in The Resolution -- and she really comes through for Kayden. It's not hard to feel the deep love there. 
 Kayden is still suffering from the trauma of being beaten regularly by his father, not to mention being stabbed and left for dead. It's clear he's still struggling with it all, and when his brother Dylan calls to say that their parents have been found, Kayden slips back into old habits. Talk about heart-breaking. But Callie lifts him up and brings him back in a lovely scene on Halloween. It was so great to see a different point of view of this night. I loved having Seth, Luke and Violet as part of this story, even if it was only in the back ground. 
 In a pivotal moment in the story, Kayden is tested when there's news about his parents and his mother attempts to get in touch with him. He learns what family is all about and the series concludes with a very nice moment between Callie and Kayden that warmed my heart. 
 Lots of great emotion in this story and it carries all the way to the end. Great conclusion to the series. Recommended.
