This poetry book will make you analyze and question the world around you, give you hope, and bring you on adventures that you would never even imagine. It will also give some sobering truths about reality as we know it. If it makes you profoundly think or feel something then even P.T. Barnum would agree that it was worth the price of admission.

I love books that “make” me do all sorts of things.

Adversity – Endurance – Survival – Forgiveness

Never Waste Dreams— takes you back to the year 1871, as the saga of two young pioneer couples continues. They began their journey in the award-winning novel, Never Waste Tears.

Carl, Hannah, Nathan, and Sarah each take you with them in their essence and dialect. They struggle for their family. They show grit and determination for their land. They open their hearts for those who join them, as a new voice is added, saying, “I couldn’t help but wonder how much our life was going to change in ways I had not even considered.”

Can they find forgiveness for those who’ve brought them pain? Can they survive when nature’s invasion of the land takes away their livelihood?

Rejoice with them when they prosper. Weep with them in their time of despair.

Emphasis in the original.

You are born of scam; shall die in scam. Everyone is scamming others. What better expected of the most depraved-dangerous half animal-half human, 7.5-billion strong species? Fear, anger, attitude, denial, deception as proceeds of the scam are the pandemics this species loves. Scared of death, yet trades it most. Reality can de-scam lives. But, who cares? Ignorance is bliss, perfect; till death!

…

…and another three big paragraphs of that.

Savannah doesn’t really want to go out with Mark, a guy from college, but he keeps asking. She agrees in the hope that he’ll leave her alone afterwards. But instead of a date, Mark has something else planned for her. He drugs her and sells her to an auction house, where she is sold to Adam.
Adam inherited his parents’ island, where they worked to master their dream of solving the human genetic code, making a weapon, which is strong yet undetectable. They make clone warrior men.
They can’t resist and make a set, using their son’s DNA too, giving him little brothers who all look exactly like him so he has someone to play with and someone to help him protect the island.
Many years after his parents’ tragic death at sea, Adam comes to realize that he wants a normal life. One where he would have a wife and a child. Maybe even several children. The children wouldn’t be exact copies of him. They would be unique, like his wife…

That’s less than half of the full blurb, but I think you get the picture. (h/t Curtis)
