*****First place winner of General Fiction in the Undiscovered Writers Awards*****
Joshua Berton comes from a broken home. He doesn't dare think of his father, his mother is beaten down and poor, he has no siblings and no family. He is an outcast at school, subject to teases and taunts from his fellow students. He doesn't have any friends, and the only person he is comfortable talking to is his mother.

But what happens when your only hope is taken away from you? What happens when the light of your life goes out?

On a starless night, Joshua is left alone, and on yet another one he decides to take his life. What is he worth, anyway? What does he have left to live for when the only person he can die for is himself? He wants to leave, he wants his life to be over.

But sometimes we don't get what we want.

When I shut the door behind me I realized that no cars were driving out here either. They were all empty and abandoned. As I strolled by there were no people talking in the coffee shop windows. There were no people eating in restaurants. There were no sounds except my heavy breathing and the howling wind. "HELLOOOOOOOO" I shouted, "IS ANYONE HEREEEEE HELLOOOOO!!?" I continued to call out to no one in particular feeling a little agitated by the growing silence. That's when I heard it... The winds howling came to a stop. The world seemed to stop turning. Time itself came to a halt. Leaves caught in the breeze and remained motionless. That was until the wind came calling back to me, and in this it whispered one word that answered all my questions...

One second her mother is there and the next she's gone. Now plagued with hard decisions and a father who is losing his cool, she has to figure out a way to move on. But when she is put to the test will she be able to be the girl that her mother always wanted? Or will she fall flat on her face and lose everything she has held dear to her. Note: This is based around God and Christianity.
