But most of all this is a story about love, the authentic kind... the substance to all that is.

When Khalid unexpectedly passed away, he shed what was his first skin for another to live down by the bayou in their small Louisiana town. Khalid still visits in dreams, and King must keep these secrets to himself as he watches grief transform his family. It would be easier if King could talk with his best friend, Sandy Sanders. But just days before he died, Khalid told King to end their friendship, after overhearing a secret about Sandy-that he thinks he might be gay. "You don't want anyone to think you're gay too, do you?" But when Sandy goes missing, sparking a town-wide search, and King finds his former best friend hiding in a tent in his backyard, he agrees to help Sandy escape from his abusive father, and the two begin an adventure as they build their own private paradise down by the bayou and among the dragonflies.

With the help of her doctors, family and colleagues, she started her journey from the grip of the deadly disease, which ended spectacularly with her finally winning a trophy with her departmental team in the first-ever ‘AIIMS Got talent’. In her quest towards discovering inner strength, she found her life’s purpose to be similar to a dragonfly’s purpose, which is to live fully in the moment and perform to its best ability despite the limitations that are imposed by destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's something to be said about being average. It's not a bad thing, but it isn't necessarily great either. After growing up in suburban New England, following the social norms and reluctantly falling into the "average" category in just about everything, Brad Herrick wasn't quite ready to take on the "average adult" lifestyle yet. With the light shining bright at the end of the college tunnel, Brad finds himself with the opportunity of a lifetime after he made a joke comment to his dad: a chance to hike the infamous Appalachian Trail. The conversation went something like this: Brad: "I don't want to grow up yet! I'll just go and hike the Appalachian Trail!" Dad: "Okay. Do it." Brad: "Wait, what?" Follow Brad as he tries to conquer the extraordinary as he walks almost 2,200 miles from Katahdin in Maine through fourteen states to Springer Mountain in Georgia. As his average life slowly takes a back seat, it's gradually replaced with exciting, funny, and ridiculous adventures, both on and off the trail, with friends old and new. It's a trail of discovery as Brad finds perseverance, adventure, an expanded world view, a love of food and reading, the proper use of diaper rash cream, and the journey out of the "average" category.
