Danny's Story Three Windows and a Scarlet Cloth
In my dreams billowing sails of white moved me quietly along on my well-planned voyage through life, but the choices I made put me adrift. I waited, hoping, that my ship would come into the wind, but I was caught in the wills and whims of the tides of life and I didn't know how to escape the storms that followed. Then, without steerage, I ran aground, hard and fast in a fallen world. I had hopes of being a choir-boy at my church, I would wear a navy-blue blazer; crimson necktie, and a surplice of white, now I can't, I'm dirty, and I can't get clean. I wanted to confess my sin but I couldn't, if I did, everyone would hate me. A Tsunami of shame and torment ebbed over my life; I was drowning. I was a twelve-year-old boy when this journey began, a journey that would take decades to complete. It would take me from a self-destructive life of condemnation to a freedom that only God's grace could provide. Follow me as I struggle to separate fact from fantasy, and dreams from reality in an emotional confrontation with a past that desperately wanted to steer my future. As you journey with me you will be introduced to a GOD that never forgets his own, never. One day on this painful voyage of wanderings I will meet (once again), the ONE who said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' Heb 13:5 A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. Prov. 16 So, go ahead, pick up a pencil and write your plans down, lay out your future, but remember, GOD has an eraser. "For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the LORD, "Plans for welfare not calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jer. 29:11

This book should be read only by those old enough to feel and understand the very real emotions brought about by the severe emotional pain and mental exhaustion suffered by a twelve-year-old boy who was caught in a relationship that he thought was his salvation but turned out to be his destroyer.

Comments from editor of Danny's Story
This is on of the most well done stories I've read since working for Xulon since 2014. I only wish two things a) every author we publish could write as well as you and b) that the subject at hand was something different, but understand you needed to tell your story, as painful as it was for you to write, thus relive it, and for readers to read it.
You have a real talent for showing your story, showing its emotions, building up tension, and truly making the reader understand how you feel, even though it's told through a third-person omniscient narrator. I couldn't stop reading, most days, it was that good.
Thank you and good luck
