When authors write from personal experiences,straight from the heart,it touches the readers. Their work speaks out to all who read it,and most of the time,people can relate to what was written. I have always believed that books can change people's lives. Especially ones where the author is sincere,and writes deep,thoughtful,touching things from their hearts."-Nina Jean Slack ↗

She had looked her duty courageously in the face and found it a friend--as duty ever is when we meet it frankly. ↗

Flea stared at us, "I can't decide what's worse. Losing family members or not having a family member to lose. ↗

Give that boy a cookie!" Now really wasn't the time to think about food. And where was she keeping them? In her pockets? They'd be all crumbled. "I don't want one. Thank you." Eyebrows raised, she wrinkled her nose - I must have insulted her by not accepting her offer. ↗
