Life is a Series of Choices

About the Book

Have you ever wished you could go back and do something all over again and do it differently? I know I have; we all have. Th e choices that we make every day not only effect our lives but the lives of those that are around us that we may not even be aware that it has effected somebody else’s life. Many times we do not have a choice in the decision we make and we can only make the best of what may be a really bad situation. You will see in this story of Alyson —that she like so many of us did not always have a choice in what life handed her. Th e choices she did have were limited or forced upon her by others’ ultimatums. You will read about choices that Alyson made that you think the girl absolutely has lost her mind.

You may ask yourself, “Is she crazy?” “What was she thinking?” Other times you may feel as scared as she was and want to hug her and comfort her when she huddles in a corner shaking from pure fear. You may even wish you could crawl inside the pages and knock a few folks on their behinds. Alyson keeps going and she forever tries to make others happy, she tries to do what is expected of her, and she tries to be the perfect student, child, daughter, sister, wife and mother. You will read about the many times that she failed at each of these.

About the Author

I grew up in Cross Plains, a small town in West Texas. Life was very difficult growing up, I can relate to the character Alyson on many of her challenges throughout this story. I married while in high school and was a teen mom. I have been blessed with two wonderful sons. In 2003 I married my best friend Loren. I have two step sons and one step daughter. In 2006 after layoffs and a declining economy we moved to Kansas. All the children are grown and have left the nest so I have had a little extra time to fulfill my dream of writing this story.
