Prescribed Life - Paperback

by Jesse Starr (Illustrator), Morgan Davis (Author)

Seventeen year old Leah Clark once roamed Whetstones halls without direction, as a loner against ludicrous lifestyles. While other students rehearsed their roles living ritualistic reputations, she often acted on impulses by skipping lines, and rebelling against the rubric. Unfortunately, a passion for politics wasn't enough when it came to scholastic survival. Before the high school senior's grades reached rock bottom, her mother flipped frantically through the yellow pages, seeking professional help. Luckily a local shrink was able to diagnose her psychological symptoms, and pinpoint a probable solution. However, Leah couldn't help feeling skeptical as an unknown antidote was filled in her name. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect a few tablets to pave her rocky path from the inside out. From that point on, ingesting every dose was a breath of fresh air as Leah rejoiced in relaxation after unlocking an open minds initiative using a prince's philosophy. Just as things were beginning to turn around, the magical medication falls into the wrong hands, putting Leah's entire alter existence in jeopardy. As if chances for survival weren't slim enough, rations were running short as doctors decided to discontinue further distribution behind enemy lines. Despite disadvantages, the teen continues to fight alongside her prince, putting newfound knowledge to the test in attempt to save an unwritten realm from realities destruction.

Author Biography

First and foremost, I just want to express appreciation toward my readers for their support. I enjoy telling tales of transformations by personifying characters using realistic reactions. At an early age, I was intrigued by sagas and storylines only to be left unsatisfied once the curtains dropped. Hiatus had me hungering for more, so I started staging alternate endings with childhood toys, sketches, and eventually writing. For years, I settled in a comfort zone of poetry and short stories, instead of facing fiction with a novel. Patience was a foreign feeling as I embarked on uncharted territory to claim an untamed tale. Prescribed Life started off as an unwritten manuscript designed to entertain an underground audience. In the beginning, Prescribed Life invaded inboxes as a simple text message in May of 2010. Overused buttons began to stick as chapters developed rapidly until additional characters flooded my flip phone's memory. With the encouragement of a friend and a secondhand laptop, unfinished business began to pick up in January of 2011. Writing this work was like riding a rollercoaster. Every twist and turn caused a reaction to spiral outside my own intentions into an open mind. Over the course of the entire experience I learned to never back down from any task worth conquering. After all, picking seeds out of season can affect an entire harvest. Remember, anything can be achieved through the initiative of an open mind.
