Can't Take Everything
Spring was finally coming to the little farming community hidden in the Western United States. It was a harsh winter, not only from the abundant snow and cold temperatures, but also financially. Kevin was busy moving hay bales from the barn out to the cows and horses so he could easily feed them. Hay had gone up and after a bad harvest last fall he had to buy what he didn't produce for his livestock. Fuel had gone up as well. Farming was in Kevin's blood but it was hard times like this when he thought of his family, a wife and single daughter. As he hooked another ton bale and his mind wandered to provide for his family, a little brunette came running into the barn.

The Hope War: Chapter 1
Yesterday he saved a life. Yesterday he was a hero, and everybody knew his name. All he did was pull a toddler from the rushing flood water. The toddler would have been a goner, sucked under the water where debris would have held onto the body until it decayed enough to either disappear or finally float to the surface and be found.
