When I was just ten years old I developed seizures. When the answer was not easy, the doctors gave up and blamed it on me. I was put in a mental hospital, where they abused me mentally and physically. Once they found out that there really was something wrong with me, the adjustment was huge. I had to learn how to deal with my anger in an effective way. This is my story of overcoming my chronic illnesses and learning to live my life through my challenges.

Little Drummer Boy
It's amazing how one little choice can change a life. Not just for you, but for everyone around you. I knew that our family welcoming in a foster child would change things, but I never imagined how much. I never imagined the burden my new brother carried. But he didn't have to carry that weight on his own any longer. Sometimes family wasn't linked by blood. Sometimes a brother comes when you least expect it. Sometimes adventure comes when you step out by faith. Sometimes family is all you have Sometimes love leads to pain. But I'd embrace the pain all over again for him. Because really, we were all that he had.Complete

Unseen Heart [DISCONTINUED]
Don't read this. Its an old story I keep to look back on and reminisce. This is a boy with both status and wealth, but that is not a life he wants. Instead he wants to be normal like everyone else. But soon something will happen, at the time he did not know, he didn't see, but will soon to understand very well. What will the boy do anything once he does understands, or will he just go on without getting involve to pursue what he wants (normal life)? Also this is my first time writing....Do forgive any mistakes or cause of boredom. I may also give up half way and never end up finishing so do forgive that too.Complete
Consumed
I've always believed I can make a difference. The faith I have in this is unwavering. When I came home on my tenth birthday to find my mother's fragile mental state swinging into crazed, I still believed I could help. I thought it was a problem of my making, and I've lived my life trying to remedy the mistake every since. Never mind that I don't know what I did. Never mind that she hits me and yells. Forget the fact that I sometimes want to die because I feel so worthless. Ignore all of that because this one idea is all I can think about. Making a difference in her life and others' lives consumes me. But will it destroy me too? Maybe. Maybe not. I'll find out when I reach the breaking point. As to where that point is? Only time will tell. The only thing I know for sure anymore is that I have to try to make up for my sins, whatever they are. And until I do that, I doubt I'll ever find my peace.Complete

Outsider
This story is for my little brother. He was the best man I ever knew, and he died too young. No, he didn't leave this life the way I tell it in this story (it is, after all, a work of fiction), but he might have had things played out a little differently than they did. Childhood sexual abuse is alive and well in America and the larger world as well. Rodney and I lived it, and that basic fact served as the seed that made this story possible. Much of what you are about to read is true. Just as much is pure fiction. You'll get that (in spades) as the book progresses. The idea of another, better life waiting "out there" somewhere is a constant of most religions, but this is not a book about any religion or, really, the afterlife. It is a story about escape and hope.Complete
