Inspired by True Stories
Truth can be stranger than fiction. My family’s real-life trauma inspired these stories about gut-wrenching loss. As with Always Think of Me and Second Chance Highway, however, readers end up celebrating the indomitable human spirit.

Thirteen-year-old Dot wants to be a child, but an act of violence shatters her innocence.
“I suppose the first reaction is simply wow. I thought at the beginning Dot was a beautiful girl’s version of a Holden Caulfield-type character. But boy, oh boy. Poor little Dot was way more than just Holden hoping to be a catcher in the rye…. This is a story I am sure I will remember forever. I thank you for sharing.”
“I just read your story and wow…. It’s so beautiful! I can’t wait to read more from you.”
Robert Guise has no reason to fear an unexpected knock on the door or the trilling of his telephone…until he does.
“Such a beautiful story. What an amazing man. Although the sadness was always there, the love and commitment to his family helped him get up and live each day. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to read it.”
