Arlene Starr
This is a true story of Michael, as told by his carer and how he worked through a great loss in his life. It was with the help of others and the love, care and training he received from his father, plus his courage and faith that he was able to bear the experience as well as he did. His carer was Cathy Glass, the author, and she gave a good and loving narration of the few months she spent with the Michael and his father. It was written in first person almost read like a diary, with abundant details of daily activity wrapped around Michael's story.

“Don't ignore me. I only get more annoying.”

Richelle E. Goodrich
“You can capture this body of mine,
take away my freedom and enslave me.
You may even have the power to capture my soul
and sentence me to the realm of eternal darkness.
But my dreams you cannot touch.
They are my will—the very essence of who I am.
In them I laugh. In them I cry. In them I love.
And in them… I live.
My dreams are untouchable and unceasing.”
Richelle E. Goodrich, Eena, The Dawn and Rescue

Richelle E. Goodrich
“Why is it we must suffer the loss of something so dear before we realize what a treasure we had?
Why must the sun be darkened before we feel how genuinely impossible it is to live without its warmth?
Why within the misery of absence does love grow by such bounds?
Why must life be this way?
It is a strange existence where such suffering makes us far better people.”
Richelle Goodrich, Eena, The Curse of Wanyaka Cave
