"This is a beautiful short children's story. Very cleverly written, with a wonderfully moving story line. My children loved this story when I read it. It also included a very clever little method of explaining to children what happens during an eclipse (making a difficult concept understandable for them)."
EXCERPT
The sun was very hot. No one would touch her. This made the
sun very sad, because more than anything, she wished she could be hugged. 
Every day she saw mommies hugging their children.
She saw
children hugging their pets.
She saw mommies and daddies hugging and wanted to be hugged
even more.
She tried to hug the birds, the airplanes, and the balloons that
escaped from the children…but they all flew too low.

A YA NOVEL-- D.N.A.
Debney Nichole Armstrong thought she knew everything about her family. She knew her dad worked hard at everything, except building a relationship with his family. She knew her younger brothers were typical little kids, and she knew without doubt, her mother cared nothing for her first born and only daughter. But what she hadn’t known was, DNA could ruin your life.
Eighteen year old Debney Nichole Armstrong, found out about her parents’ and little brothers’ death during the night of her eighteenth birthday party. Yes, sometimes relationships in families end tragically. People leave; parents die, and lives change, but does it all have to bring out the skeletons in the closet?
After one of her reoccurring bitter arguments with her mother, Debney is left home alone while her family goes away on summer vacation. In the chaos of a romantic (with her long time crush) dinner turned teen party, she learns of the death of her family. What she really needed to know was what role did her mother contribute to the ‘accident’? Where were the bodies of her ten year old twin brothers? Who is the strange man in her mother’s journals, and who is the father of the child she now carries? No matter what the answers are, Debney knows, nothing will ever be the same.
http://dna-bloodtiesandlies.blogspot.com/ Debney is also sharing her journal and all of the emotions that come with being a bullied, pregnant, orphan.
