Imagine a peaceful, quiet town where there are no worries. Late one night, Zariah was awaking to chaos on her balcony. There she finds a little creature bleeding, so she rescues it. Little did Zariah know that the little creature would change the course of Zariah’s town. Soon this creature begins to grow at a rapid pace. Zariah names her Diamond because of her eyes that looked like crystals. Diamond has a best friend who she calls Dog. A warning: if you mess with her best friend Dog, Diamond will shred you to pieces.
Take a journey into this science fiction/fantasy world of Diamond, Dog, and Zariah. Not everyone is who they seem to be. As Zariah navigates the complexities of her new life with Diamond and Dog, she discovers hidden secrets about her town that have been buried for generations. Dark forces are at play, and Zariah must unlock the mysteries of her past to protect her friends and confront the truth that could change everything.
It is with a heavy heart that I report my dog Noodles died on 12-08-2020 from a vicious dog attack. The dog was 40 to 50 pounds heavier than she was. I, too, was attacked by this dog trying to save my beloved service dog. Noodles is on the front cover with Diamond, and her real picture is on the back. If it were not for her, the story would not have come to life. She just turned 12 the day of the attack.
Proceeds for this book will go to creating new laws for the State of California for dog owners and their dogs. We need to change the laws so the owner will be responsible for their dog’s actions. This change is essential to ensure the safety of our community and to protect not only the dogs themselves but also those who may be vulnerable to their behavior. By raising awareness and gathering support through this book, we hope to pave the way for a future where both dogs and their owners coexist responsibly and harmoniously.
Where humanity calls home is dying. Earth is receiving a beating every day. One does not have to look far to see something is wrong. A silent plague is sweeping across our planet right before humanity’s eyes. All living species are now affected by this epidemic; no one is immune from it. It is killing all life forms on the land, in the air, and beneath the sea. Just stop what you are doing and look up towards the sky, and you will find the answer. Scientists state that chemtrails are nothing but water streaming from unmarked jets. Since when does humanity have the right to play “God” by manipulating the air we breathe? The trails everyone sees in the sky are not curing the droughts or bringing rain to countries that need it the most. I ask this simple question: “Does the atmosphere above us look strange to you?” There is a hidden agenda in the sky that no one will admit to. Time is running out for all of us. The contents of this book (seventy-four images) give the reader the insight to start watching the sky instead of looking down on a phone or other device when we are outside. By shifting our focus upwards, we can begin to uncover the truths that have long been obscured. Each image serves as a reminder that nature is speaking to us, urging us to pay attention and take action before it’s too late. The wonders of the universe are often overlooked in our fast-paced lives, yet they hold the key to understanding our place in the world. As we learn to appreciate the beauty above, we may also find inspiration to protect the fragile ecosystems that thrive beneath our feet.
You are about to take a journey back in time. This story takes place some forty years ago, when the word “abuse” was considered taboo.
Within the pages of this book is the horrific story of one little girl’s life. Nikki’s adopted parents, the Taylors, had the entire justice system convinced that Nikki was insane.
Nikki had been living in an unthinkable hell for years. Unfortunately, when the truth finally came to light, it was too late.
Her story is one of the many shocking cases of child abuse, which never had the chance to be heard. It is time to hear Nikki’s story, the side no one would listen to, until now.
“The Shadows of Nikki” is based on a true story of adoption and abuse.
What you are about to read is graphic. This book is not intended for those under the age of seventeen. Parental discretion is advised.
This is the new challenge for the world to embrace. It is called child abuse. We have the power to stop this vicious cycle that has plagued our children for years.
I Christine D. Patterson will donate fifty cents for every digital version of “The Shadows of Nikki” that is sold and one dollar for every book that is sold. I want to help bring awareness of child abuse that plagues our world every day. It is time for these children’s voices to be heard and understood. Proceeds will be going to http://fosteringmediaconnections.org.
This book is the new version of the 2007 edition. With heartfelt stories and compelling insights, it aims to shine a light on the often-hidden struggles faced by many. Together, we can create a brighter future for these vulnerable children and ensure that their experiences lead to meaningful change.
Humanity is a complex species. We have been taking the gifts of this planet for granted since the dawn of time. We have the mindset that whatever this Earth has to offer, it is ours for the taking. Compassion is losing ground with the sands of time. The future of our children is at stake. We have no time to contemplate such matters anymore. Trees and flowers that once lined our streets and parks are now dying before our eyes. The bees that we need for our food source are almost extinct. The question is simple: “What will become of humanity when our food source runs out?”
