Need to come up with a title for my book...help?

So my book is actually a sequel to a book I already wrote, in the first one a boy named Jason is being abused by his mother and stepfather mentally and physically, and his only friend is a new girl next door who knows he's being abused. Anyway at the end of the first one some other people find out he's being abused and he tried to kill himself by jumping out the window but his mother actually stops him, even though he doesn't know why. Then at the end he gets taken away because people reported that he was being abused. That one was called Closed Windows (yeah I know it sounds dumb, but in the story Jason was talking to the girl he was friends with through a window, his friend saw him being abused through the window, he tried to kill himself by jumping out the window and it's suppose to be metaphoric because he usually lives closed off to other)

Anyway for the sequel which i need help naming, he is in a foster family that has two other foster children, a younger boy named Frankie, then a girl around Jason's age who came on the same day as him named Grace, and they have a biological daughter named Courtney. Anyway so Jason basically tried to be perfect because he wants to be accepted into the new family like he never was with his old one. The new family is really religious (i think there probably going to be catholic) and Jason isn't, like at all, and the father actually works at a catholic private school and he makes Jason and all the other kids go to it. So Jason isn't the best at school, and he knows nothing about religion, but he starts to try really hard because he just wants to be loved (the people are really nice and would love him even if he isn't perfect but he doesn't know that.) Anyway then the girl Grace starts to basically point out all of his flaws, even some that are made up, and of course then he goes crazy trying to fix those. Then later on he finds out Grace was sexually abused and she just wanted someone she could control because she use to be controlled. Anyway so it's basically Jason striving to be someone he's not to be accepted. That's all I have planned out so i know it kind of sounds lame now. Anyway I need some help with the title, any ideas? Thanks in advance

    I can think of a few:

    -Acceptance

    -Strive

    -Perfection

    -Unhinged (a metaphor for the window that reflects Jason. His lust for perfection is simply out of control...ish. ;)

    There seems to be a theme going on here, so you could always look up synonyms for the titles. :)

    With all the disapointment abuse and such it adds a lot of reality that so many stories lack

    And for the title how about "Silver Lining Disdain"

    Opened Doors (Life has opened a new path for him, and chose to follow so...)

    Scratches on the Glass (of the window...ha ha...ugh.)

    Flawed Learning

    Source(s): Ha ha, nice one All I Wanted, great minds think alike? I'm in a funk, and my creativity is draining drop by drop.

    Hope outside the window

    Perhaps something along the lines of: Closed doors, then you could make it like the CLOSED series.
