Write to Read Project, #1
Expected Publication: March 23, 2013
Cover design by Chamera Sampson
Genre: YA Contemporary
Synopsis:
After the death of their parents, Derrick and Arriane are whisked away to Maine
to live with their aunt. Years later, they find themselves back in their small
hometown of Cooper’s Pointe, and residing with their older brother, Lucas. What
neither of them knew was that Lucas, who was already slowly heading towards
self-destruction when they left, had become far worse than they, or their aunt,
could have expected.
Skylar is popular. The idea of popularity has consumed her for years, but the
stigma of her past continues to haunt her. When the handsome bully from her
younger years- and ex-best friend- comes back into town with a slew of problems
of his own, Skylar has to consider her options: get revenge, or learn to
forgive?
The Struggle of Me is a touching story highlighting the individual pains of
Derrick, Arriane, Skylar, and Lucas. Will they defeat the obstacles that hinder
them or will they be defeated by the struggles that bind them?
Excerpt:
"We sat staring at each other and in an instant, he reached his hands to me and gently cupped my face. The seconds between his lips touching mine were hardly noticeable. His lips were warm and soft, and I involuntarily pressed myself into him.
Taking cues from me, Derrick reached his arms towards my waist and put more pressure into the kiss, pulling me half into his lap. His lips felt like fire and as his tongue twined with mine, I felt as if I were melting. "

About:
The Struggle of Me is the first project by Write To Read. The idea for Write to Read came to Chamera Sampson’s mind at the end of 2011. Immediately, she decided to try to develop an inkling of an idea into something more.
What Write to Read Does:
Write to Read started with the idea that everyone has the right to read something they would enjoy. Unfortunately, many people do not have the resources to do so. Write to Read is dedicated to donating money and other related resources to the causes that directly aid literacy development and an interest in reading to people around the world. How, you may ask?
Well, each project is started with volunteers to write. The Struggle of Me started as an idea to have multiple people taking turns writing on a solitary short story to be published as an electronic book. Hence, the name Write to Read.
We believe the story, which quickly transformed into more of a novella, is a great one.
Where Proceeds Go:
