About this ebook

Eight year old Abby is heart broken when her mother dies from cancer. She is left behind in the big house with her father who is struggling to come to terms with the fact that the church people, his so called family, did nothing as they suffered alone. The only way in which Abby can deal with her grief is to start building a town out of odds and ends. Here she is able to escape the harsh realities of bullying at school and the fact that she looks more like her mother with each passing day. In the town her mother can stay alive and she is able to give vent to her creativity. Abby blames herself for not being able to keep her mother tethered to life or minimising the grief for her father. She has failed in every aspect that she can think of. The bullying escalates and Abby prays for a storm to wipe out the possibility of school the next day. Her prayers go unanswered as she finds herself growing lonelier and more detached from reality with each passing day. Depression swallows her even as the imaginary storm in her room grows to epic proportions and there is only one way out. Part of Storm vol 1 and Storm vol 2 available on Smashwords.

Writing has always been my passion, however the timing always seemed incorrect as daily life interrupted more frequently than not. Now, I have decided to go big or go home.
