In the early 1990s, at the peak of the crack cocaine epidemic, the author, Linda Falkner, became a foster parent. Most of her children were infants who had been exposed to alcohol and drugs. Trying to help these children fit into her home, and the world, was only the beginning of the challenges she and her family faced. I WOULD BE LOVED is about kids who were damaged by drugs, alcohol, abuse, and by the system meant to protect them. The older foster children had been emotionally, physically, and often sexually abused. One foster child, a girl named Pixie, came to live with the Falkner family after leaving foster care at eighteen. She had grown up in hundreds of foster homes and was severely mentally ill. Pixie lived with the Falkner?s, on and off, for ten years. In that time, they taught her many life skills, and tried to let her know that she is loved -- but that was the hardest lesson of all for her to learn. I Would Be Loved is Pixie?s story as much as it is Linda?s.

As ancient prophecy echoes through time, Sapiens finds himself fighting to survive secrets that threaten not only to shape his future but end it. A prince who never wanted to be king. A tutor hiding dangerous truths. A woman back from the dead with a message. A unicorn brought to life for a single mission. A vengeful duke and an elf ready to burn the world down. A kingdom on the edge, caught between political unrest and otherworldly threats. And a realm hidden from mortal eyes, where words can travel miles in a whisper and dreams hold glimpses of the future. As dark magic stirs, can Sapiens protect his country, or will his destiny prove stronger than duty?
