Stories of Hope & Redemption
FICTION | PAPERBACK & DIGITAL
What do Zander, Perdu, Big D, Eddie, Matilda, Kathryn and Maximus have in common?
Seven broken lives, seven individual stories with one intersection; a kind-hearted pastoral counselor named Elisha who volunteers her time and records their stories for her anthology of hope that leads to redemption. Elisha, who records her own heartbreak, bitterness, and moral fragility after the death of her beloved father, is a capable North Star who offers compassion and cappuccino in equal measures.
This debut author skillfully weaves a short story sequence from Elisha’s anthology of circumstances and behaviors that bring about brokenness. These seven less than honorable tales feature harshness, heartbreak, and the odd bit of humor. These seven less than noble heroes will touch your heart as they slay their demons, realize the beauty of forgiveness, and overcome their brokenness by the grace of God and the greatest healer of all.

THE EXTRAORDINARY MISSES OF AN ORDINARY LIFE
FICTION | PAPERBACK & DIGITAL
In Cristian's case, unwanted at birth did not mean unloved through life
Despite being abandoned at birth and raised by a family not his by blood, Cristian DeSilva Long believes he lives an ordinary life by ordinary standards. Yet throughout his life he ponders the extraordinary ‘misses’ that have shaped and affected him—missed opportunities, missing the mark in relationships, missed loved ones, and an intense teenage romance that had lasting consequences of what was ‘missed’.
While Cristian sometimes struggles with the stigma of being unwanted, he also realizes the grace of being accepted, and loved. As he matures through the story we witness his making reconnections that matter, and the most monumental reconnection of all—a leap of faith that reaffirms his life. Cristian worries not at all about the legacy he will leave behind. Instead he asks at the beginning and end of his story—to be missed by someone, is that not legacy enough?
