When given a writing assignment by Mrs. Thompson (to write a letter to a student attending a school in Alabama that has been destroyed by a tornado), Alyssa discovers a way to relieve herself of her secret. Penning her life on handmade stationery then sealing it in a yellow envelope, she places it deep within her book bag.
The next day, feeling unburdened and carefree, she reaches into her bag to turn in her assignment and discovers IT IS NOT THERE! What will Alyssa do? She doesn't want anyone, not even her new best friend, Onika, to get a hold of that letter and discover her secret.
By the time someone finds the envelope, Alyssa fears it may be too late. By now, she is sure everyone, including the school's bully, knows all her business. What she doesn't know is what will happen next?

If, the Story of Faith Walker
If, the Story of Faith Walker, a Young Reader Chapter Book for grades sixth through eighth.
Imani is unlike other girls her age. Due to developing meningitis at birth, she received a life-saving surgery that resulted in her being a wheelchair user. This, however, has not hindered her from being an active, outgoing, caring young lady.
While in Children’s Church, Matthew 14 catches her attention; it is Peter walking on water. Imani is unsure as to why the story continues to speak to her heart, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to come to you on the water.”
Does the verse mean she will one day walk again, or something else? Imani isn’t entirely sure; all she knows is she is about to have a faith walk, unlike any other.
