An unspeakable family tragedy and agonizing illnesses plunge young Mikey into an isolated existence. Branded as an outsider and faced with adversity beyond his years, he engages his unparalleled imagination to enter fantasy worlds of cowboys, daredevils, and espionage. Mikey’s illuminations during his dark times radiate his good will to all who surround him.

A Word from the Author

I wanted to share my experiences of tragedies and how I dealt with them. The difficulties of growing up with limits on activities and prospects of a normal life.
The faith I learned from my mom had anchored me along with my day-dreams. They gave courage, hope, and faith to continue without giving up. With each event throughout my life I was challenged to either quit or strive for something better.

Everyone faces many different challenges through their life. My hope is that my story will inspire hope, faith, and joy. Hope of things turning out regardless of the challenge. Faith that it will not overcome oneself to the point of despair. Joy of going through a tragedy with the willingness to share the experience with someone who might be going through a similar one.

I have seen how these tragedies of mine have helped others through their difficult times of loss, sickness, injury, and suffering, by passing on hope, faith, and joy.
