Jake had always wanted to be a writer. He grew up in a household with parents who had PHD's in English Literature; and that only amplified his desire to write. After moving from Pullman, Washington to Carlton Cove, Washington, his world would be forever changed. His life would be transformed by fate, or as he would later learn, The Three Fates. He would meet an eleven-year-old girl-with an amazing ability to sketch and draw...a wunderkind; and he would discover that some things in life are indeed predestined. Jake had never been a big believer in destiny or providence, and he would soon come to realize his true purpose in life, as predestined by the Three Fates. He was also a non-believer in finding true love, or a heart's desire. He believed it was all just luck, or a roll of the dice when it came to relationships. He would find out that he was wrong. Jake would also discover that his mother has an incredible gift of Intuitive and perceptive abilities that defy belief. He would also discover later that someone else in the family may also be developing the same amazing abilities as his mother.
