Sometimes I Attempt to Write

From time to time I may post things that I've written.  I don't profess to be an amazing writer, nor do I think I would ever have the ability to write a book that anyone would want to read.  But I have always loved putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard in this day and age,) and sometimes I like to share what I've written.

A Story of Faith (working title) 

Prologue

The summer of 1970 might have been the best ever.  Or it might have been the worst, depending on who you ask.  If you were to ask Susie, she would say it was the best time of her life.  She was almost seventeen, and she was ready to experience the world.  She spent her days hanging out at Heritage Park with her friends, listening to music, getting high, and dreaming of the day she could finally walk out of her mom and stepdad’s house forever.  She had quit going to school two years earlier.  Susie didn’t need school and the oppressive rules that came along with all of that.  She was a free spirit, a flower child... a hippie who was sure she knew it all.

If you were to ask me, I would have a very different opinion. I wasn’t even alive yet, but the choices she made that summer would dictate the course of my life.
