Shattered

by Carolina Colleene, Ben Lindsay (Cover Art)

About The Author - Though born in Utah, Carolina has never lived in one place longer than four years. This nomadic lifestyle has taken her to Texas, for now, working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher. While Carolina was originally an English major in college, she quickly switched to study Experience Design (with an Art History minor!) at Brigham Young University - a major (and minor!) that she does not use. Ironically, her scheduled life of balancing work, church, loved ones, and live music is often broken up by inspiration and the desperate search for a pen to write down new thoughts that will eventually become stories and poems. Maybe she should have stuck with the English major.

[Kassandra Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful and heartwrenching look at divorce from a child's perspective.

"This darkness is where I've been, but it doesn't have to be where I am going. From the depths of every hole that I have felt trapped in, from the blackness that prevents me from seeing one step in front of me, I am looking for the light.

Because I know light is out there.

Searching for the light keeps me sane by allowing hope back into my life."
