Don't Stand Still, July 2015
"Stephanie move!” someone screams. “Call 911!” the office manager yelled to her. Mary ran past her and out the door. Dennis stood near the door, speaking to the security guard. Someone close to her called for help on a cell phone. He had one hand on Stephanie's shoulder and the other held the phone. She heard him speaking. "Yes, he's breathing. There's a large amount of blood loss though. I'm not sure he can move.” And then he turned to Stephanie and said, "They're on their way. It will be OK."
As if the call changed everything, Stephanie walked out of the building, down the steps, to the cracked sidewalk and into the street. The crowd was all looking at her as she pushed through everyone with tears furiously falling. She fell down to her knees. Then put her head on top of his chest. “Please don’t go. Please open your eyes. Squeeze my hand. Something! I’m sorry. This is my fault.” She intertwined his fingers with hers, saying a prayer that he would be alright.
Good Intentions...Bad Decisions, 2016
Samantha Ryan is grateful for the life she has today. At thirty five years old, she’s a marketing manager at a Fortune 500 company with a successful husband in law enforcement. Her greatest achievement is her two children. Other than struggling with the balance of family life versus professional life, her life has been perfect. That is, until the day Samantha stops to help a stranger in distress, the day that changes her life forever.
How could the terror and horror that one person can put a woman through be out of good intention? This powerful individual showers them all with materialistic items, expensive dinners and a beautiful home. Everything, except the one thing they want – to go home.
For Richards, everything seems to come so easily except for the one thing that is broken in his life. He knows he is hurting people emotionally, mentally and physically but he believes he has no choice. His heart is bleeding for everyone but he is doing this for the one person he loves.
