Bursting with happiness she couldn’t hide, Trissity imagined the coming scene: They’d be gently splashing in the waves of the Cabo San Lucas beach at twilight where she would tell him the secret – after seven years of trying, hoping, even fervently praying, she was finally pregnant. A passionate, exuberant kiss would surely follow – she could hardly wait.
But that very evening on the beach, just as the scene grew perfect, her husband’s secret past caught up and exploded around them. Horrid, deadly bullets ripped into the waves at their feet, shattering her perfect moment.


When the distance seems too great for us to bridge the gap, when we feel

Everyone suffers from pridefulness, yet few truly love themselves. Genuine love of the deepest self – the opposite of the surface love of narcissism – is one of the most profound, important goals of life. It is this self-love that pridefulness counterfeits. Self-love is open where pridefulness is closed. Self-love tries to better the self where pridefulness tries to be better than anyone else. Self-love is forgiving where pridefulness is condemning. Self-love is healing, where pridefulness festers. Self-love welcomes others into the circle, where pridefulness is exclusive. Self-love is a spiritual relationship with self, where pridefulness is a carnal relationship with self.

John discovers a world where nothing is as it seems – from cookies that scream when bitten, ice cream cones hanging in the sky that are quite something else, to an uppity turtle who invites others inside her shell for tea; a zany new adventure awaits at every corner. “From here, it looks like I went from the inside to the outside, when all the time I thought I was on the outside going to the inside.” The pert turtle patted John's curly locks. “There's still hope for you, boy,” she sighed, but with a hopeless look in her beady eyes.
