The Secret of Vesta

Beschreibung

Wicker Alabaster is an awkward sixteen-year-old girl who has her share of problems, but unlike most sixteen-year-old girls, Wicker has a secret...she is a deified mortal. Keeping up appearances for the good of her people means keeping secrets from her friends to protect those she loves. When one of their own turns up dead and a secret is revealed, it is up to Wicker and her friend Pixel to bring the force that soon terrorizes them to justice. Follow Wicker and Pixel as they battle an evil, psychotic presence through his realm and ours while learning the truth about themselves and their world and discovering powers and modern technologies they never knew existed in their live-off-the-land village, tucked away from society. Can Wicker keep her people safe and guarded and save mankind as well? No ordinary sixteen-year-old girl could, but then again, Wicker Alabaster is no ordinary sixteen-year-old girl

Kim grew up an only child in Conroe, Texas. She graduated from Texas A&M University in 1992 with a degree in Elementary Education.

Kim still loves working with kids in education and is an academic tutor. She enjoys traveling, music, and spending time with family and friends.Kim started writing Webster when her kids were little. The story idea came from her experience teaching and seeing all the dynamics of different personalities in a classroom. She saw kids' insecurities, the courage it takes to try to make friends, and the heartbreak when they are excluded, or kids are being mean. Because she was busy being a mom, she ended up putting Webster away in a drawer where it sat for about twenty years. She always knew she would follow through someday with publishing her children's book. Once her two little spiders graduated from high school and went away to college, she pulled it back out and got to work on her passion project!Be kind, be accepting, be a good friend, be appreciative of differences, and be yourself!
