Five years ago, I first volunteered to cook, serve and share dinner in local shelters for homeless families. My experiences chatting with shelter residents inspired me to write two award-winning stories: "Heroes Arise" and "Reaching for Rainbows." "Lynx Eye" published "Reaching for Rainbows" in 2005. Now I've recorded the first part of the story to make the piece available again.
In "Reaching for Rainbows," a ten-year-old girl copes with homelessness, a school assignment about Martin Luther King, and the narrow line separating reality from imagination. This is a great story for a broad range of ages and backgrounds. No need to wait for Martin Luther King Day. This award-winning tale has inspired a number of people to reach out to homeless families and others in need.
