She is the first person in Ellison who seems unfazed by their racial differences, and she promises to give Ethan a summer he will always remember, filled with endless adventure and discovery.

Can the two survive the summer, run in the light and block out the noise of the outside world? [Published version comes out June 16, 2020 with Wattpad Books!] [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. There are some friends you never forget. It's the summer of 1955. For Ethan Harper, a biracial kid raised mostly by his white father, race has always been a distant conversation. When he's sent to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle in small-town Alabama, his blackness is suddenly front and center, and no one is shy about making it known he's not welcome there. Enter Juniper Jones. The town's resident oddball and free spirit, she's everything the townspeople aren't-open, kind, and accepting. Armed with two bikes and an unlimited supply of root beer floats, Ethan and Juniper set out to find their place in a town that's bent on rejecting them. As Ethan is confronted for the first time by what it means to be black in America, Juniper tries to help him see the beauty in even the ugliest reality, and that even the darkest days can give rise to an invincible summer . . .

Writing the title of my book brings hushed laughter from the voices in my head who have begun to gather and mingle. They are the co-characters of my past 7 life spans with the devil . My life once again unfolds in all of its classical drama unfolding like a future spiritual war over my soul. A theatrical play that is so rare; I have born witness and full awareness of it twice in my life and now; as I begin to write my Memoir. I can tell you that I am the Director of the life changing events that I am currently experiencing and those I now control in my future. The past and current characters and main characters of the past 55 years have created the stage for the life I now have. I can see those who have came and gone in the past years. Those who have passed into the next life and those among the living. In the next five years I will be introduced to the next characters who are closely vetted and chosen. We will all meet and share Spiritual Virtues and gifts as Divine Warriors; for the war is upon us. We are now in the Final Judgement stages before the RAPTURE! The Devil has had possession of my soul since I was first cursed growing up around the crossroads of St Tammany Parish La and Pearl River County Ms atthe age of thirteen. I was raised as both a Catholic and that of a judged and condemned whore and witch. Later I would come to belong to the Coven of Joan. A secret coven of selected witches that were founded in the late seventeenth century and had been meeting in Little People's Village in Middlebury, CT. SECRETS I do Have and THOSE Secrets I shall forever keep. The Devil had me and he filled my life with lies and enemies who were once trusted and close friends. He had control over me from the time I was told to lie to cover up terrible childhood secrets. Tonight I hold no remorse or sympathy for the Devil. I pray the St. Michael's Chaplet and remove him and his band of demons and their thought controlling powers over my mind and banish them from my home.
