Gift from the Moon

Description

My parents died when I was young. As an orphan I was put into the S.O. program – where I was trained to be submissive and accommodating – until I was bought by a man named Tom. Tom taught me to fear everything – the consequences of my actions, other people, reading, talking, the world outside of our city, and him. Everyone in Jaspin feared the world outside our city, or more specifically, the Savages who lived there. They were renowned for doing vile things to a person before they killed them. When a rebellion started within Jaspin, Tom decided that we would travel to a different city. This meant we would pass through the Savages’ territory. It was a moonlit night that I encountered the glowing red eyes of the Savages. I quickly realized there were more things for me to fear. My world drastically changed that night under the light of the moon, and I learned that the adventure of my life had just begun. Under the watchful eyes of the Savages, I discovered that there was a strength in me that I had been unaware of. Question was, would it be enough to help me survive outside of the city?

About Amanda Schmidt

I graduated from Eastern Michigan University and live in Rochester, Michigan. I am a single mother of three amazing children who have helped me rediscover my love of writing. I started writing in 2009 and discovered there were many stories within me that I wanted to share. With the help of my family, friends, and fans, I have gained confidence in myself and in what I love, allowing me to live my dream to be an author who finds inspiration everywhere: my past, listening to music, in laughter, and even random moments while out hiking or practicing Tai Chi. I discovered the hard way how important believing in yourself and your dreams is. With each story I write, I hope to take my readers into a world that will captivate their attention. I hope my stories remind you to believe in your dreams, allowing you to think outside the box and become more than you thought you could be.
