EDGE OF SMOKE
Comment: I began to write this as a prologue for my upcoming novel Edge of Smoke. However, it began to become much more than a prologue for the book, and I think it stands alone at this point.

Watch for the release of Edge of Smoke, probably someti

| I learned things about Cher I never knew and it was good to see her personal perspective. The book is an easy read, and is very descriptive. | |

quote
“We want a world where boys can feel, girls can lead, and the rest of us can not only exist but thrive. This is not about erasing men and women but rather acknowledging that man and woman are two of many—stars in a constellation that do not compete but amplify one another’s shine.”

| This tale by Joseph Minart is an intriguing fantasy of magic and suspense. Joseph has a way of dealing with a complex and intricate story for YA readers, and maintains suspense throughout the tale. | |

“If each day you took only one step toward your dreams, how far will you have come a year from now compared to where you are today?”

“There is no day that anyone ever lived that is identical to any day ever lived before it. The future is a flower in constant bloom. Each day a new petal unfolds.”

“Everything is temporary. There is nothing in the world that is not perishable. Therefore, treasure and honor all that you have in this moment, for in the next, it may be gone.”

“If you are not happy with me then I would rather you be happy somewhere else than unhappy with me. For that matter, I would rather you be unhappy somewhere else than be unhappy with me.”

“One of the biggest relationship mistakes is trying to "make" another person happy. The only person you can make happy is yourself. We are each 100% responsible for our own happiness. Take responsibility for your own happiness and let everyone else take responsibility for theirs.”

“Maybe that's the genius you were talking about," I said. "The genius to heal it is to hit it head on and keep hitting it 'til you develop the strength to deal with it. Make sure you don't pull the rug over it and pretend it isn't there. Talk about it. Face it. Feel it. 'Til you heal it.”

“Child, I am telling you that you don't have to do anything to be special." She leaned forward a little more and patted my arm to call my attention. When I turned to look, her eyes met mine with a gaze of pure love. "You are already special," she went on. "You don't have to get an education to be special, but you can if you want to. You don't have to cure cancer to be special, but if you do the world would be grateful. God don't make nobody who ain't special. It means we are all equal in his love. There ain't no way around it. If you believe that love is real, then we are all equal in it.”
