Broken Hearts & Souls

About the Book

I attended a private school and was constantly under pressure from my strict parents that believed being “sheltered” from the world was the only way to live a pure and healthy life. I was repressed in everything that I did and as I grew up in this environment. I was never exposed to any of the harsh realities that most modern children of today see by just turning on the television set. But the day finally came, that I had to leave my hometown. I had to leave this blanket of comfort that, Unbeknownst to me, was smothering all of my social development. I was married very young, still a child in mind and body, and I was thrown into the city and the hard tough world that I could not understand, nor could I cope with alone. During this time, I eventually met another woman, similar to me, and she became my guardian angel. With her help, and by making the hard decisions I was able to overcome tragedy in my life and become the person I am today. This screenplay was adapted from my true life story. A story of how parents can mean well, while doing harm that may take years to overcome. This screenplay sends a positive message to parents who intend to place their children in private schools or home school.

About the Author

Life isn't always easy. Some say life is a struggle, a challenge. We often hear the saying “up a creek without a paddle.” Life can be a test,You're either prepared or unprepared. Who we become as adults is greatly influenced by the way we are raised as children. The abilities and skills to survive and excel in this test of life are forever ingrained in us by our parents and educators. In this fast-paced ever evolving world, the prepared are able to rise to the challenges of life and fortune of success. For the unprepared, life is not so. My book paints a very clear picture of the closeness of families who live a protective, sheltered life going to a private school. One is raised to believe the whole world lives this way. Individuals only speak the truth because one is taught a person is only as good as his/her word. It is also emphasized that everyone treats others with kindness at that is the pure moral way to live life. I give details of how my life was lived year after year. Readers will clearly see that what is instilled in a child be it right, wrong, or naive, becomes a permanent and lasting part of one's being. No matter the direction life may take, make no mistake, one's childhood mentally follows him/her throughout life, causing doubt in every move because one knows how naive he/she was raised and things are just not the same in the world he/she now must live in.
