This is the story of Charley, a child of divorce who is always forced to choose between his mother and his father. He grows into a man and starts a family of his own. But one fateful weekend, he leaves his mother to secretly be with his father--and she dies while he is gone. This haunts him for years. It unravels his own young family. It leads him to depression and drunkenness. One night, he decides to take his life. But somewhere between this world and the next, he encounters his mother again, in their hometown, and gets to spend one last day with her--the day he missed and always wished he'd had. He asks the questions many of us yearn to ask, the questions we never ask while our parents are alive. By the end of this magical day, Charley discovers how little he really knew about his mother, the secret of how her love saved their family, and how deeply he wants the second chance to save his own.

Why would anyone want to read this book? Just because girl on girl is hot? Truth be told, I'm not even sure she's all there, but a little bit of crazy can be very enticing; you certainly can never be assured of a calm day. Granted, a little calm isn't too bad every once in a while, especially when you have to put up with a friend who probably should've been diagnosed with A.D.D. years ago, just so the rest of us can get a little break when she medicates. I don't want to talk about her, though; no, my thoughts are revolving around the beautiful long-haired brunette whose very presence is a balm to the pain shattering throughout my soul. Don't get me wrong; I'm just an ordinary college student... I think we all have pain of some kind or another, brutally destroying the innocence of our youth in order to allow the inner adult to stride forth from the ruins with the ash of smothering childhood nightmares clinging tenaciously to our newly sensitized skin. The following is just the artistic rendering of my story, which, unfortunately, had to be put into words, which is not my strongest suit; I just want to be drawing, you know?

In the context of bulling, we tend to focus on the don'ts. Don't point. Don't stare. Don't use hurtful words. Being the eternal optimist that he is, Joe challenges us to redirect our energy. Instead of not acting like a bully, he calls us to imitate the compassion of a friend. Subtle yet powerful, the examples Joe gives of people going out of their way to treat him like they would anyone else call all of us to action. After hearing about the experiences that have shaped his life, we can't help but be inspired to reciprocate kindness and grace - the same kind that was extended to Joe - to people in our own lives.

Each of us was born into this life having to travel our individual journey. No two journeys are the same, just as no two people are the same. We all have different dreams, goals, and callings. I am not on this earth by accident nor are you. God does not create accidents. There is a greater power working in us, a Paraclete. If we surrender ourselves to His guidance and purpose, God can do more through us than we ever thought possible. Although life can be joyous, at some point throughout our journey, we will face obstacles. You may have experienced some failure along the way in the past but you are not a failure. This book was written with the same hope and inspiration that comes to me from God to encourage people not to give up when faced with adversity. This book is about having the perseverance to move forward even when you do not feel like taking another step. Your callings and dreams are too important for you to give up on. You can position yourself to reach your destiny. You can achieve success. It is my prayer as you read this book that God will clothe you with hope. Hope, that no matter what you are facing, you will believe one more day. For more information about this book or the author, please visit www.believeonemoreday.com
