Esther is one of the Special Ones: four young spiritual guides who live in a remote farmhouse under the protection of a mysterious cult leader.

Esther knows that if she stops being Special, he will “renew” her. Nobody knows what happens to the Special Ones who are taken away from the farm for renewal, but Esther fears the worst.

Vol. I: Trilogy of the Special Ones
Author: Lawander Thompson
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504376374
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
I grew up listening to stories, which taught me about right and wrong, and also fostered my love of storytelling. Who hasn’t been told stories as a child? We all have connections to the stories we carry from our childhood to adulthood. We all have a story to tell... Vol. I: Trilogy of the Special Ones, is essentially three shorts about three super female heroes. The protagonist in each story triumphs over three life-changing scenarios from a child, an adolescent, and finally as a young successful woman. In each scenario, she is faced with major decisions and must act under pressure to make the right decisions. This is a book about self-discovery. This is not the answer to peer pressure but it can raise awareness. It is a moral story and a literature lesson about “curiosity kills the cat” but the cat has nine lives; this is the gist of what happens to young adults who face perils while traveling in dangerous territory. I think the best stories come from the heart and real-life situations. I rely on my experiences to tell my stories. While sitting at my grandfather’s feet, he was of native heritage and was the master storyteller who taught me about my cultural folklore. My voice narrates these stories that connect the moral dilemmas young women experience with daily peer pressures as they reach adulthood to maturity. My trio of short stories centers on three primary characters---Bellania, Bobby Jean, and Amanda. They are all beautiful, curious, vulnerable, and fierce because they are the special ones protected with inner gifts. These are stories about making the right choices with a flair for the supernatural, mythological, and guardian angel themes. It crosses all ages, cultures, and genres based on folklore with a modern twist. I love the notion of unveiling the many masks we wear especially when the risks in life become greater. The character arc in each plot progressively builds under pressure and gradually reveals the true nature of each young woman as the special ones with special powers. It is spiced with a touch of magic realism from rural folklore, oral traditions, and superstitions.

I wrote this book of wonderful wisdom on workplace safety for three primary reasons: 1. The complete furnishing of personal-protection principles and practices 2. The common work of the workplace 3. The complex instruction of groups of workers in the workplace These three primary reasons (as I strongly believe) serve as real keys to achieving the noble goal of a safe workplace: To unite workers in the belief that they can be safe To unite workers in the wisdom of workplace safety To bring workers to a mature state of complete oneness in purpose To bring workers to the point of being wise workers Though the wonderful wisdom of this book reserves the real potential to become universal, it is primarily targeted at steel millssome of the most dangerous places in the world, to work. I firmly believe wisdom of workplace safety is the Master Key to producing wise workers. Wise workers are the first principle to being safe workers. Safe workers are the secret to a safe workplace. A safe workplace is, without a doubt, the noblest of goals that can be set and striven toward by any steel mill. L. A. Jones
