Life
I recently had to deal with those unexpected things that pop up in life that make you wonder if there is an all powerful being watching over us.
It is hard to watch the person(s) you love go threw an illness when there is nothing you can do about it. You feel helpless and alone while they suffer and tell you everything will be ok.
Why is it they have all the confidence when you question existence?
I know I am not the only one who has sat next to a loved one and cried or held the hand of a person who is fighting for their life. I want to understand why the best people, who have never laid hands on another or said a bad word toward another, are the ones who suffer.
Watching them, I see the goodness in their heart. The love they spread to others. Why make them suffer while a person with no regards to their own lives don't?
When I was smaller, I went to church. I was taught each of us only receive what we can handle. What will make the people around us stronger. I still question it. I still wonder why a person should go through trials, to make another believe in what is happening around them. To believe in a higher power.
I see their strength and their courage and it makes me question my own. Would I be able to endure what they went through? I know I wouldn't have the same look on life. The same unchanging faith they hold so dear.

OK, so I wrote book 2 pretty fast since I was excited about telling Jessa and Micha's story. I wanted to let the reads understand the struggles Micha faced before he got to the place he is with Jessa. Even now, in the book, he has a hard time trusting people and himself. He is put through "the ringer" to keep peace for him and the the realms.
I know this book will have more of a YA feel then the first. Jessa has things to think of and Micha is put in a situation that most men can't handle well. Doing this, I'm afraid of loosing younger readers. Will I push them away because the characters kiss more or Micha is feeling all these emotions a "man" isn't suppose to feel?
I hope when readers pick up this book they will feel the emotion, the fear, the sorrow that the characters feel. I want you to lay the book down when you are finished and take a breath, wondering if love does conquer all.
