This is quite different from what I normally write- I hope you like it...
It is the summer of 1969. Elvis is king, Nixon is president and the Vietnam war rages on. You can buy gas for thirty-five cents a gallon and for nine year old Louise White it is the summer she became the invisible child. With her older brother and sister out of the house, Lou and her best friend Conner rule their little world. They are all each other have. They are the only ones who see each other. Conner sees Lou's loneliness and her desperation to have her mother notice her, or God-forbid, be proud of her. Lou sees the bruises Conner tries to hide. All the adults in their lives turn a blind eye from what is right in front of them until it is too late.
Lou discovers she has a chance to go back and change all the wrongs to rights in her childhood. But that choice has a price.
Everyone has only so many heartbeats. Would you give up yours to save some one else?

Legends Life - Out of control
This is a novel about a topic we technically made up randomly and if there are any mistakes, errors, or just places I could fix and add more details please tell me, I want to make this book enjoyable and exciting to read! Also please be aware that some of these will be notice's and this book does need and have a blood warning and a swear warning! Please do be aware if you can't deal with blood this book does get descriptive (Partly true) and I will be explaining what scars, burns and wounds look like and the pain felt for them. This book is more themed in the future than it is nowadays. You may also find some technology that is more futuristic, and there are things talking about the past. Most of the book is switching between views of the main characters. We want you to expect the unexpected in this book, for example: Most books don't kill off the main character, we want you to think we will kill off one of them. Most of the characters in this will have birthdays and age in the background and it may not be written. There will be more books coming out so we will end this one on a cliffhanger.Concluida
