EverLea: Journey Through a Splintered Mind

by Charles Strong

A fable for adults. Fantasy or reality? We are the sum of the stories of our lives. Sometimes . . . In one with a mind that splinters, the shards take on a life of their own. There must be growth before the shattered pieces may be puzzled back together. Part fairy tale, part reality, EverLea takes us on a journey through this splintered mind. We see from both sides as Journey, a young girl, grows to not only understand the mental health issues her father must deal with, but she is offered keen insight into what it means to have several voices inside one's own head. We are able to travel with Journey as she helps put the pieces together, as she views from afar the nuances that form to help her father deal with the real world even as both worlds start to fall apart. A unique perspective and perhaps, simply one man's explanation, of what it is like to be caught between worlds and trying to function in both. Fantasy? Reality? Who is to say? For we each have our own stories, our own personal myths, and, our own reality.
