Book Description
April 1, Bidding Day Meet Sky. As he sits and waits for the results on his wedding day, he knows he was born an S, he will live as an S, and he will die an S. All Sky desires is to escape the community with the woman he loves, a plan he concocted when he was five years old. But the flight to his freedom may come at a price. And what about the birds? After years of sending avian search parties, why don't others exist outside the community? Meet Merry. All she yearns for is her happily ever after with the man of her dreams, but will she be chosen by the right man? Meet Antin. Born an A, he is being groomed to lead this community. So why does he hunger to steal Sky's only true love? Meet Marabelle. Clumsy and maid-bound, only children flock to her myopic side. Will she remain friendless and alone? In a society where questioning any rule is deemed forbidden and teens must bid on each other for marriage, some citizens are forced to shroud their dark, secret identities. Unravel the mystery of Forbidden Sky and experience how the beginning truly ends. Born with the passion for storytelling, Stacy Keywell lives as a full-time mother, and educator. She loves the human spirit, appreciates profound humor, and dreams about the mysteries of the spiritual unknown. She graduated from Michigan State University's James Madison program and also has a Master of Arts in Teaching from Wayne State University. Her hobbies include reading, writing, traveling, acting goofy, uncoordinated dancing, singing random tunes, and pursing adventures inspired by her wild imagination. She's explored England, Wales, the Caribbean, French Polynesia, Canada, Mexico, Egypt, and Jordan, with extended stays in France and Israel where she lived on a kibbutz. At home in Michigan, she now purses mini-adventures with her husband and two young daughters.
