Maren Headly was a starving artist type in a big city. She loved creating music and performing it for the niche crowd of fans she acquired over the years, even if it meant her bank account was always desolate. Before the letters started, she loved the attention of being on stage and letting her emotions flow into the lyrics. Before the break-ins and threats, she dreamed of having die hard fans that would do anything to know her. But once she got a taste of that reality, of always feeling like somebody was there, watching, Maren started to wonder if her dreams had gotten her in way over her head. And if she could even make it out alive. ** Paperback version available at https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/writerbug44**

#315 Non-Fiction-9/27/17 "The loneliest people can be the kindest. The saddest people sometimes smile the brightest. The most damaged people are filled with wisdom. All because they do not wish the pain they've endured on another soul." - Timothy Delvecc Every person has a story. Usually when we look at someone we don't know, we tend not to think about what they could possibly be going through and all the thoughts running through their mind. Our brains tend to make judgments based upon what we see; and everyone knows that's not always a good thing. This is a story-a true story-of how judgment became my worst enemy. Mind you, this is not a happy tale. This is a story of a girl in search for happiness. A girl who has yet to discover herself while journeying down an unpleasant road filled with lies and torturous schemes. Don't let the title of this book deceive you and the picture of the smiling, innocent young woman lead you to believe this will be a book about sunshines and rainbows. What you do not see is the immense pain and anger that hides behind the slight grin. The scars from countless fights that are covered by the thin layer of clothes that nobody will ever see. So think again when you look at this book-because on the inside you'll find the story of the little girl on the cover is not what you'd expect.
