Story Behind The Book
I started writing Friends of Choice back in 2008. This was when my son and daughter were experiencing their own problems. They are both young adults themselves. Their problems kept escalating from the friendships they chose to keep. Friends who did not use good judgment. They would get drawn into the wrong crowd and have to deal with the consequences. I learned early on, how I had no control over who they chose to be friends with. I would have to stay in the background and just shake my head over their choices. Agonizing over all their problems gave me even more strength and desire to write Friends of Choice. My final desire was for the story to be a warning piece without sounding like I was preaching to the reader. I left the ending of the story line open for two reasons. Yes there will be a sequel and the other reason is to prompt the reader to ponder over what the outcome could really be for the characters in the story. Teens now a days, seem to act without thinking about consequences.
