Christina Black's mother has cancer and her father, well, he's vanished. What will she do without her mother, where will she go when she dies and how will she cope? A tale for those who are suffering or have suffered loss. A Note from the Author: When I was 12, a friend invited me to her house. The home was dark and the floor had piles of books and laundry scattered about. I thought, “what in the world?!” “Want to meet my mom?” she asked. Okay. There, in the dark room, a woman lay in a hospital bed. She had a bed pan next to her and several pills lined a TV tray. I never forgot the emptiness I felt or the empathy gained for my friend. This is the story I penned that very night when I came home [and continued writing for the following two years]. I’ve left the emotions and rawness intentionally. I want it forever remembered in honor of my friend and her mother…
Christina Leigh Pritchard was born and raised in South Florida. Her first stories were written at the age of nine in $0.15 wide ruled spiral notebooks (which were supposed to be used for class) ;o)~ and in the various diaries she kept. Stories she wrote from age nine to twelve fill about four storage boxes!
Since she's upgraded to a computer, she's completed over fifty books and still going strong. Her genre's include dark fantasy, young adult, drama, suspense, historical romance, multicultural, comedy, poetry and many more.
Her main aspirations in life are: her dog, Teacup; the beach, writing and well, writing! The author says, "I breathe novels. Is there really anything else worthwhile besides writing and of course faith?"
What she says:
The most rewarding thing a person can do:
1. "Give all of your excess. You don't need it so why store it and allow it to collect dust?"
2. Listen to the stranger next to you whether on a bus, plane, park bench-whatever. Learn all you can about them and then notice how in such a short amount of time they had the ability to teach and/or change you!
