Stepping Stone To Sun Rise

BOOK 1 of 2: Sunrise Series
Everyday life can go right or wrong so many ways in so little time. Adelina is the youngest child of a hard working ranch owner. She is polite, well mannered, stubborn & often times spoiled. Despite her odd fascination with Wanted Posters & her love for her disobedient pup Roggie, her entire world has mostly been safe & routine. That is, until the day she meets a pie thief who challenges her old habits & opens her eyes to a whole new way of thinking, whether she likes it or not. Childhood bonds & unlikely friendships that weren't welcomed can change your view of the world in a single swoop. Any one thing can change the entire direction of life and the building bricks that pave the path to the choices we make into adulthood.

* THIS IS BOOK ONE OF A TWO BOOK SERIES*

Dedication: FOR MY FATHER FLAVIO
My inspiration for "Manuel" is based on the #1 man in my life, my dad. As I sat on the porch swing chatting with my dad about how he, himself, is the basis for the father figure of this story & how my only dilemma was choosing a fitting name for this beloved character; He paused, smiled & softly said "pon le Manuel" - name him Manuel. My Uncle Manuel was my father's older brother who tragically passed away as a young adult. The tribute to him not only honors the memories we have of him but forever allows my dad to live on through these pages.

Been working on a story since 2014. Bilingual story. All words in Spanish are translated. Thinking in movie format, I have added some song suggestions to some scenes. Had some major changes throughout such as characters names etc so if you catch any mistakes, I'd appreciate a heads up.
