“Wait,” she called out suddenly, not sure why that thought upset her so much. “I’m sorry, I just … “ she curled her nails into her palms, closing her eyes as she counted to ten, working on leveling out her temper. Cursing anyways, she hurried after him until she was nearly shoulder to shoulder with him, “You’re right. Forgive me, it’s just… I didn’t expect any of this.

Chapter One Six years, it had taken six years to get to this moment. Kersten tried not to look too smug and accomplished as she extended her arm out in front of the Registrar. The man was tall and emotionless and towered over her like a dark tree as he pressed the cold metal of a RR gun against the inside of her arm.

Except for a slight twitch in her left eye, she didn’t flinch when the rush of fire ran down her arm and into her fingertips, making her hand numb for a good thirty seconds before the feeling returned.
God Doesn't Love Us All The Same, by Nina Guilbeau
Janine Harris never really thought about homeless people. She barely even notices them as she passes them by on her way to work in downtown Washington D.C. All Janine can focus on is the shambles of her own young life, afraid that she will never be able to get past the painful mistakes she has made. However, all of that changes on a snowy evening in December when Janine unexpectedly finds herself alone with Vera, an old, homeless woman who seems to need her help. Now Janie wants to know what could have possibly happened to Vera to leave her so broken and alone.
As Vera shares her life story with Janine, the two women form an unusual bond and begin a journey that changes both of their lives forever. Reluctantly, they each confront their own past and, in the process, discover the true meaning of sacrifice, family and love. Although to truly move forward in their lives, they must fast the most difficult challenge of all – forgiving themselves.
