Karmen enjoys a peaceful childhood on a small island, whose sky, like her demeanor, is a pristine blue with never a cloud in sight. Her reality takes a sudden turn when it is revealed she is a Bringer of Life. Though she must leave home, she embraces the responsibility to use her power for the greater good. As the years pass, new growth and beauty are left in the wake of her constant travels.
One day, Karmen risks her life for love and nearly dies. The consequences of her choice force her from the sanctuary she helped to create. After an awakening, she exists in a harsh civilization where innocence is but a distant memory. Will she be able to adapt to her new surroundings? Or will she perish along with the splendor she once knew?

I can't begin to tell how this book has impressed me. In less than 6 thousand words, the author was able to give many important messages, and it's so beautifully written. He is a natural storyteller. This is not, however, like the many other books you've read. It will get you thinking, and it's likely going to change you, as it did to me. Everyone should read "A Story Of Life." After all, a bit of intelligent fun never hurt anyone. Amazing book. ~Giselly Lillmans, Smashwords
Book excerpts
Chapter 34
After many summers, she felt her appearance change, and the sisters prepared her ceremony for the big change. She was about to become a woman. She was rolled into the leaves, and the sisters softly let her down on the ocean floor. While she sank down, her consciousness slowly faded away, but she wasn’t worried. She heard them sing in her head and she knew she was safe. Winter came and went.
Chapter 37
She read the strange signs, and the first cloud in a long time appeared on the blue sky. Slowly the boats turned and set sail home, or the place which once had been her home.
