    About this ebook

    High up in the Kentucky mountains is a world hidden from public view. You would never guess, unless you have been here, that people actually reside in this wilderness. I find the mountain folk to be kind enough, yet they are so different from anything I have ever seen. Local custom and tradition are odd and often dark.
    My name is Kallie. I live near the top of the tallest mountain range, so high up that the air is thin and crisp and people are few and far between. This is not the land that time forgot, but it contains those people that the world has forgotten. A place that holds no interest for the rest of mankind, civilization has not reached this far yet. I doubt that there has been any "progress" here for over a hundred years. Man is outnumbered here; the wildness of nature rules and survival is the name of the game. I have found that the cost of stupidity here is very high. Been told once is usually once too late.
    Simple things that others daily take for granted are not simple here, if they are even a possibility. To survive is a struggle every day. No time for foolishness of bells and whistles and fancy decor; or milk of human kindness or pleasant company. Hard to envision ain't it. If you listen closely to my story it might get easier to see. If it does, maybe you can enlighten me.
    I was not born here, I am almost certain of that, but Da has blood ties to this desolate place. I am not sure what that
    means, or how that has any bearing on why I am here. But then I know so little about so many things, and almost nothing
    about the things that Must really matter. I could really use some help in my search. An impartial viewer with a calm head
    and a willing ear might really help. Is there anyone out there, anyone that can hear me? I am Lost and need a guide; some
    warmth in a cold world has become hard to find.
    I do not want to be one of the forgotten, secreted away to suffer and die unknown. I do not belong here. The problem is
    that there is no place that I do belong, at least no place that I have yet visited. I wonder if it is Fate or Destiny; and
    if so, can it be changed?
    The only thing that I now hope is to find what I am searching for; I have listened to the locals and now tonight I make my
    way to a spot which may contain a clue for me. I am headed to a place I have been warned away from, the Mystic Woods at the top of the knoll. I'll have to tell you how that turns out.

    B. A. (Beverly) Smith

    Hello. I am Beverly. A normal woman in a hectic world; sometimes "Super" at other times "Wonder” Woman.My main job titles include Mother, Grandmother and wife of over 28 years. Secondary titles (though less formal, still of utmost importance) include Domestic Engineer and Hearth Manager; not to mention that I am a master at juggling.Professionally I am a Registered Nurse, specializing in psychiatric nursing with over 30 years of experience in helping people in crisis. This "calling" started with a degree in Psychology from VPI&SU in 1981. This was combined with a RN degree in 1992 and advanced into the specialty with ANCC certification in Mental Health and Mental Illness in 1995.I have worked in many professional areas over the years including medical hospitals (general medical and cardiac care), counseling, mental hospitals, and home health. The specific job titles have varied, including Psychiatric Nurse, RN Clinician, and Behavioral Nurse Specialist. By far the most intense experiences came from over 15 years working in a state-run mental institution in areas of Detox, Substance Abuse, Adolescence, and Acute Admissions. The most challenging experiences came from Psychiatric Home Health Nursing.Hobbies (when time allows) include Music, Cooking, Art, crafts, photography, physical fitness, volleyball/softball and raising northern breeds Siberian Huskies and American Eskimos.Writing has been a lifelong passion. It is something that I am compelled to do. Whether writing fiction, poetry, or a professional in-service the enjoyment I get is the same. So many stories clamoring for attention, impatiently waiting to be told.
