Falling

1st Place in the 2017 Galaxy Awards

She thought she would have a normal autumn. But that was 5 years ago. Ever since her sister fell and left, she felt she would never be able to bounce back. No one treated her the same. She wasn't the same. She never would be. But then he came. He changed her world without knowing. For how could he? She never told him she was different before they met. She told the one person she knew she could trust. The one person she knew would understand. Her sister. If only her sister could remember.

This story is about a girl like you and me. She has her fair share of problems, ranging from school to crush. She gets excited when she sees a puppy and moody when mother nature comes knocking. But she does have to deal with just one more thing. The fact that her sister fell and forgot everything. The fact that the doctor's think it's safer for her to stay that way. The fact that at only 8 years old, her sister was completely changed to a whole other person, new family included, and would never remember her again. 5 years later, Autumn Chere is still dealing with the PTSD of it all, and her therapists recommended to keep a journal of everything so that maybe she can sort through her thoughts enough to write it down. She does the next best thing. In a last desperate attempt to heal her sister's broken mind, she writes letters to her, convinced that she would remember even better and longer with words rather than pictures. But what happened to her sister? What happened with Axel? What happened to her? Find all this out and more in my first REAL book, Falling.
