The significance of "Forged by the Fire" is how irresponsible Gerald's mom is. She is a junkie who basically is a terrible mom. She leaves her 3-year-old home alone many times to go get more drugs. His Aunt Queen, who is in a wheelchair, is a great mother, she tries to get custody of Gerald but fails. One day Gerald burns down his apartment and barely gets out alive. He awakes at the hospital to his Aunt Queen who tells him what happened. She also says that he will be living with her from know on.
I like this book so far because it is interesting like it's spin of "Tears of a Tiger."
The developing points are;
-Geralds mom leaves him alone in the apartment.
-Gerald burns down the apartment by playing with maches.
-Gerald moves in with his Aunt Queen
