The Birth of a Voice comprises six years of work, enveloping the reader in a bold exploration of the growing up process, the human condition, and the relationships that shape us. It is an urgent call to humanity to recognize, reclaim, and review the experiences and emotions that make us human so that we all can move one step closer to fully realizing the strength within ourselves and the collective.Life is a circuitous road traveled by all, yet we often feel as though we must traverse it alone. We often forget that we are connected through the human experience far more than we are separated by life's minutia. We all grow up. We all endure hardship. We all experience joy and loss. The Birth of a Voice tells the dynamic story of us all-human triumphs and tribulations-and reminds us that we all have permission, and indeed the responsibility, to harness the power of our voices.

Seventeen year old Remy West is a typical high school senior. She is bright, popular with her friends and schoolmates, a leader on her cheerleader squad and looking forward to the next chapter of her life when she graduates and attends college. Like most teenaged girls living in an affluent area of Long Island and part of what many consider the popular group, Remy has her insecurities. One of the prettier girls in school, Remy has never had, nor wanted, a serious relationship or any relationship at all. She feels much more at ease in a small, quiet group of people or just hunkering down at home with a good book, rather than hanging in a big crowd or partying with whom many consider to be her popular group of friends. Remy has always felt that a piece of her was incomplete and her quest for something deeper often cast her as cold, conceited and a bit of a tease by others. Even as a little girl, Remy had an intense feeling that something bigger was awaiting her, just out of reach. But now, as a popular senior with the all of the peer pressure that accompanied such a label, it would be so much easier if she could just let go, not care, and go with the flow her friends always seemed to want from her. Such pressure was no more present than with Daniel Gatto, the tall, popular senior that most girls would kill just to get close to. Daniel had been courting Remy on and off all of senior year. While Daniel was attractive, something about him always made Remy apprehensive and a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, Daniel refused to take no for an answer despite Remy's polite rebuff to his advances leading Remy to question whether Daniel's interest in her was genuine or for some ulterior motive.With a simple tap on the shoulder, Remy's life would change forever. Logan Canino was unlike any boy she had ever seen. As soon as Remy lays eyes on him, she knows he is more then just a new guy at school. Remy does not know why, but she feels an instant connection to Logan. Little did she know that Logan had been keeping watch on Remy all her life and the connection she felt had been forged years before when she was just a little girl. Remy quickly learns that Logan Canino is no boy at all. Although appearing to be just 18, Logan is in reality decades older and not exactly human, but instead a Canine Shifter and the designated future leader of the Shifter Council, the ruling body overseeing the four shifter clans created in ancient Rome by Diana, the goddess of the hunt and guardian of wild beasts, horses and domesticated animals. Logan's sudden appearance in Remy's life is no coincidence. He has known since Remy was a child that she is his one true soul mate and the only person who can help him attain his full potential and power as leader of the four clans. But there are dark forces lurking about that will take extreme measures to keep Remy and Logan apart and keep them from completing their bonding ritual. Alternating between ancient Roman times and the creation of the four shifter clans, Druid life and Shaman Priests in Ireland during the Iron Age, the founding of an exclusive prep school in 1901 in Upstate New York and the present day social pressures experienced by high school girls. Remy, the high school dreamer looking for more than life has thus far offered; Logan, the canine shifter destined for leadership, who believes nothing is more important than finding one's true soul mate; and Daniel, the shrewd, but evil, nemesis, who will stop at nothing to keep Logan from taking his rightful place as Leader of the Shifter Council.

Son of Man explores the startling reason for why Jesus insisted upon referring to himself by this mysterious title. It is therefore a retelling of his final three years, usually called his "ministry years" from this unique angle. It also greatly expands one's understanding of who Jesus was and what he came to do. As the reader will discover, Jesus' work and purpose far exceeded anything men have imagined them to be up until now. This, in turn, leads to new insight into just how relevant all that Jesus accomplished two thousand years ago is for us today.

This book, "T's Tees Are Just Like a Mom," shows us that true love is colorblind, powerful, and adorable.

Drowning under his own fractured sense of self, with time running out and pressure crushing him from all sides, he must evade tyranny, reckon with the sins of his past, and confront the looming doom of an alien invasion from the sinister unknown.

If you're holding this book and you're wondering what this story is all about, it's about the Abenaki people. These stories are of those people who lived in the Dawnland of Maine. The Dawnland was named that way because it was the early days of the settlements of New England. Maine was still a part of Massachusetts, and the native people were the Abenaki, many Indian tribes lived within the state which we now know as Maine. The people were a diverse people, a brave people, a proud people, and people who lived long in the land and love peace. They wanted to get along with those who lived with them, but it was a difficult time and there were many hardships. It is a story of bravery; it is a story of the people who still inhabit the state of Maine and so I trust that you will enjoy this fictional account of some of the legends although historically many facts are true so please read this book with enjoyment and with understanding of the proud race of the Abenaki Indians.
