Epiphany
Dante Schneivalwhitz's entire world comes crashing down after one jump. Fifteen years later, the remains of that world still lay shattered on the ground.
Forced to move out of his sister's house, he finds himself bunking with his nephew and his nephew's roommate. Having to adapt to the new environment, Dante finds himself exposing things aloud that he's been trying to put out of sight and out of mine for almost two decades.
Picking up the broken pieces of his world finally, some cut him deep. Others help him see what it is he's supposed to do. Fifteen years later, he's supposed to fix everything.
His family. His faith. Himself.

Maybe I'm biased because my best friend wrote this and published at the age of 19. Maybe I'm biased because I helped encourage her get to this stage where she published her first book. Maybe both. (Second part is a joke FYI :P If I have any bias, it is 100% because I am so beyond proud of her).
Maybe I am biased, but this book is also worth it. It has horses, hilarious moments, heartbreak, and empowerment. Of course, typical of my best friend, it has drama and gasp-worthy moments with lots of humor. It has important life lessons.
"Epiphany" is a notable read, and I hope others read it and find it as enjoyable as I do, because biased or not, it is a great read
It may be her first book, but it is far from her last. I cannot wait for more. I am SO proud of her for coming this far, and I know there is so much more coming for her in the future. I hope that many others will get the chance to experience her writing now and well into the future. Please give her your support!

Alright, I'll admit I'm a little biased since I wrote this book...but it's good.
I think it's good for a lot of things. It's far from perfect. It's not as amazing as some of the thousands of books that are out there, but it fulfilled the purpose I wanted for it.
I began writing this sucker when I was just 12 years old. Published it when I was 19. In those 7 years, I went through so many of the happy and horrible moments in life. I aim to write more books, and those books will undoubtedly be better than this book. However, none of them will ever be as personal as Dante's story was.
Dante Schneivalwhitz is a character I've packed my best and worst qualities into. He's witty, but sometimes goes over the line with it. He loves with all of his heart, but takes ages to forgive and forget--and even then he never forgets.
To anyone questioning why they should pick up this book, let me just ask you a question: at what age is it that you can get out of bed, look into the mirror, and see a distinct different between the child you were yesterday and the adult you are today? So far, I have no answers for that.
