This book was an alternative to suicide. When I thought the only solution was to end my life I decided to write a book outlining my decision. I figured that way everyone I cared about could see that i had no choice but to end it all. The further I got into the book the more I could find reason to live. I actually had to laugh at some of my adventures that I at one time considered sad moments. I began to see how much pleasure I had actually contributed to my friends and family. Im a 60 year old single mom of one. always trying to find a way or place to fit in with the rest od society. Every new decade brought new hope but no new solution, until age 60.

The author juggled three difficult concepts: economics, fiction, and philosophy in a sarcastic blend of fantasy to critique 1920s era American business practices and American values that might not appeal to a flinty businessman; think Alfred Sloan travels with Baron Munchausen.

Fall and autumn-two words used to describe the same season. It was my favorite season and also my worst. On one hand, I loved how the wind brushed against my cheeks on a windy day; and on the other hand, I hated how the dead trees reminded me of myself. Hollow on the inside but full of color on the outside. "If you want to know what we're doing, come in and see." Those were the last words spoken to me before I learned to run without direction. This book is for those who have experienced or are connected to someone with trauma, hurt, and shame. You've run from it, covered it up, overcompensated for it, and hid it; but it's time to face it, release it to God, and declare your victory over it. Whatever your "it" happens to be, there is nothing bigger than the cross. It's time to move beyond your pain and take back your power.
