The Story Behind This Book

Prologue I am sitting here staring out in the distance… There is a young girl; she looks as if she hasn’t got a friend in the world to talk with. I can’t help but wonder what she is thinking or why she looks so lonely. Surely she is normal, just like anyone else her age. There is no way she could have ever gone through or experienced what I have been through. So why does she look so sad? Why does she frown when everyone around her smiles? Then she looks in my direction. Our eyes lock, and it is then I realize the girl I am watching is…me. Perhaps you feel as I did. One minute you are scared and insecure, and the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest of force in your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy, and you cling to the past with dear life. Soon you realize the past is wandering farther and farther away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward. This is when you are faced with making your next life decision. Which will you choose?
