Alive

by Candee Fultz

“What do you get when you combine Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Back to the Future, and Crime Scene Investigation?  You get Marie Gibbons, who’s been given the opportunity to influence her past, as her present self, gathering evidence that she hopes will right the wrongs that she, her mother, and her brother endured.”  In this fictionalized autobiography of the author’s life, Alive will have you cheering for Marie as she chases the justice that she was robbed of as a child. Given the opportunity to relive some of her past memories, as well as visit her mother’s life prior to her own birth, Marie is torn by wanting to change every bad moment in an effort to give her family just a little happiness, or to keep the lessons she learned through some of those hard times.

About the author

I've had a deep passion for writing since I was in high school, and I have a gift for it. I also have a degree in criminal investigation, therefore, my writing is focused in the criminal aspect. I suppose it sounds bizarre to say I really enjoy writing the criminal stuff, but criminal investigation is also a passion for me.

I have two adoring cats, both Tabbies.

I've traveled so much in my life, and I absolutely love it!

I have many hobbies, and I love them all! Some have been passed down from my grandmother, some from my mother, and some I've acquired on my own. I never, ever want to stop learning!

Life is full of pain, sorrow, and loss, but we wake to find we are healing and we can have happiness and love in our lives, even through the pain, sorrow, and loss. Smile! Life is worth it!

[Pamela Wilhite · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is so moving and so difficult to lay down once I started reading it. My heart goes out to this young lady and her brother who went through so much as children. I cried so many times for their little souls. Thank you for sharing such a difficult time in your lives with us. I’ll never be the same person after reading this. God bless you both.
