    And when this baby’s father finally made it to the hospital from the bar room to see his new baby daughter. Did he pick her up and while looking into her innocent newborn eyes say, "I'm not going to feed you, because I don't care if you starve,” or did he say, "someday, when you need emergency medical treatment, I'm going to beat you for getting sick, throw you on the couch and leave you there alone for days- without food, water, or medicine," or did he say... Susan and her two sisters grew up in a time when racism was the norm, child abuse wasn’t recognized and poverty was a way of life. Throughout her life she was often beaten, forced to be a servant and was tossed away like garbage. Susan knew she wanted better out of life...an education, a chance to succeed, to have a mind of her own and most of all...to be free-free from abuse, neglect, prejudice and hatred. This is an inspiring story about a little girl’s struggle to overcome many obstacles- to understand why she was hurt, both physically and mentally, by the very people that were supposed to love and nurture her. And through it all she never lost faith or hope that one day she would succeed-against all odds.“Never look down on anyone, unless you’re helping them up”Jesse Jackson

    But without an enchantress or magic spell to break, what else is there? Just a damaged boy and a curious girl who doesn’t know how to leave well enough alone. This is the story of how they come together. Seventeen-year-old Emma Belrose didn’t know what to think of new boy, Heath Thompson, but what she did think wasn’t exactly flattering. He was rude, crass, and downright mean. Which was why it was so fantastically stupid that she couldn’t stop thinking about him. When stuck together to complete a months-long project for school, Emma finds herself slowly slipping past Heath’s emotional walls – more like steel barriers, really – and getting to know the boy beneath the prickly facade. Even as she begins to fall for him, however, a handful of looming obstacles continue to disrupt any bliss they may find. Not the least of these obstacles are Heath’s dark past and Gunther Kingston, the popular jock who is obsessed with Emma. With the odds seemingly stacked against them, can they reach out and grasp their happily ever after? Beastly is the first book of The Ever After Collection and is meant to be read as a stand-alone novel.

    What made ancient India the Golden Bird in the first place? What did China, the Land of the Dragon, have in common with India, and when did these two ancient civilizations diverge on their paths to global success?
