About the author

I first thought of myself as a writer at nine years old, but I didn’t get around to the heart of the matter until much later. In the meantime, I honed my storytelling skills through documentary filmmaking, video editing, scriptwriting, and assorted other diversions.

Today, I've written five novels for teens and young adults and have a thriving career as a freelance writer, ghostwriting for authors around the world. I've never been happier!

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this short story. It is a story of challenges that can come with growing up, including bullying, navigating friendships, and the impact of parent relationships. It is also a story of learning how to stand up for yourself and discovering your worth and what you deserve.

Good book

The book wasn't really about forgiveness. It was about the character learning to assert himself when no one was listening.
