I grew up with three brothers and always longed for a sister. I have a wonderful husband, but friendships with other women have enriched my life - women of all different walks of life. The story grew out of that.(less)

Deep and dark but ultimately redemptive.
The story of Uri was difficult to read. He is so troubled, lost, lonely, and too eager to please the influential but destructive people in his life. It's sad and heart-wrenching as you wish so much better for h

Quotes by Mary Ellen Bramwell  (?)

“I’m not sure which came first, the phone call or the sense of being strangled in my sleep. The choking sensation, as if all breathing on my part must cease, is still vivid in my mind. The feeling engulfs me and I am lying in bed all over again. I feel my throat constricting, intense pressure bearing down on me that I cannot escape. I push away at nothing. I flail and scream, but no sound escapes as my throat is squeezed shut, not by some actual physical hands clasped around my neck but from some nameless danger lurking just as real around me. I gasp for air, seeking somehow to gulp in one long breath that might see me through until I can breathe again. But that breath won’t come, and I feel certain that I will perish in an instant, without even a cry on my part.”
Mary Ellen Bramwell
