For seventeen-year-old Kale Jackson, life has never been easy. In fact, for someone his age, it's as bad as it could get. Despite his attempts to remain somewhat optimistic about his plight, the relentless bullying he faces at school, and the deplorable conditions he's forced to live in fight him at every angle. If not for his roommates and devoted boss, he may have bit the bullet. Literally.
When an unforeseen event forces things to change, however, his guarded heart struggles to accept that his life might be turning around. Especially knowing that he's in no position to try and make anything better for himself or anyone else. Feeling cornered and hopeless, Kale commits to killing himself.
It might take the right person, at just the right time, to bring him back to life and show him that a little faith, a little love, goes a long way in mending a broken spirit and a cold heart. Even his.

After We Fall
Autumn doesn't talk about what happened last summer. Not at school. Not in therapy. Not even to Kiana, her best friend since forever. Because if she says it out loud - that Kado is gone - it might make it real. Kado was never supposed to leave. He was the boy with the soft smile, the loud laugh, and the heart that always made room for her. From scraped knees on the playground to slow dances and whispered I love yous, they were building something that felt unbreakable. Until it broke. Now, months after his death, Autumn is left sifting through memories that blur the line between first love and last chances. Grief wraps itself around her like fog - heavy, quiet, and everywhere. Therapy feels useless. Her friends feel distant. And the version of herself she used to know feels like a stranger.Complete

Children of Light: The Last Belief
In a world where faith is outlawed and mocked, even whispering the name of God brands you an outcast. Fourteen-year-old Elior Santos refuses to abandon his faith, no matter how harshly he is bullied, beaten, or silenced. By his side is his only friend, Kael Rivera-a fellow orphan who shares the same scars of ridicule, loneliness, and a government that has erased every trace of worship. But when the earth trembles and disaster strikes, the impossible happens: God's voice echoes across the world. Only the believers hear it, awakening hearts that had long been silent. Faith, once hidden in shame, becomes a rallying cry a call to arms for those chosen to resist the rising darkness. Elior and Kael are not the only ones who believe but they will find themselves at the center of this mission. Not because they sought greatness, but because destiny has marked them as leaders. Every trial they face will be met with blessings: strength in weakness, hope in despair, and light in the shadows. Together with other believers, they must survive persecution, government oppression, corrupted faith, and whispers of an ancient evil waiting to rise. Yet before they can rise as warriors of the Word, they must first endure the scorn of their generation and the tyranny of leaders who mock everything holy. > "Blessed are those who are mocked for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
