Cover designed by D.R. Cartwright (DRC) from a concept by Ella Wilson
Blurb:
A
collection of seventy moving and uplifting original pieces - real life,
flash fiction, and poetry - about battling against the odds and the
ultimate triumph of the human spirit. The contributors include Amazon
bestselling authors Alex J. Cavanaugh and Kyra Lennon, and the cream of
upcoming talent.
The anthology is part of a fundraising effort to send the editor's stepson, Andrew McNaughton, to a specialist college in England. Andrew has cerebral palsy, and is a remarkable young man with a promising future. However, the free further education options offered in his own country of Scotland will not challenge him and allow him to progress. In order to access the education he deserves, Andrew will have to pay exorbitant fees, thus creating a situation of discrimination.
Help us get Andrew to college by buying a book that runs the full gamut of human emotions, ultimately leaving you inspired and glad to be alive. Whatever struggles you are going through, our sincere hope is that this book will help.
