First Award Presentation "Best Kept Secret"

Excerpts from Camie's Role in the Book
A Better Pair of Shoes, a novel

"...This shameful secret was one I had considered many times, but continued to keep. I also learned it was especially easier when dealing with men. ...Every now and then, I’d start to feel the emptiness."

"I just needed a little bit of reality. Not the one I had created and now knew, but the one that waited for me in Tampa where Camie was simply a fictional character. As I left Miami behind, I felt more and more like a fraud."

"Desperate and furious, I pulled my cellphone from the holder on my waist and speed-dialed Kayla’s number. I just needed someone to talk to; someone who had some dirt too, and wouldn’t judge me."

Chapter 1, Camie's Secret

A Better Pair of Shoes, a novel Chapter 1 Introduction ( narrated by Kayla) Just as we are living souls; life itself has a soul. And there’s a heartbeat to life. I call it the rising and the falling. Just as we must rise, I’ve learned that we must fall. I find that I’m grateful for the things I learn when I fall, yet I often dislike the cuts they bring and the scars they leave behind. Today I fell, but perhaps for months I’ve been falling, and I have all the bumps and bruises to prove it. Although they’re not visible to the eye, they are surely recorded on my soul.

Mountains do reach high and all valleys don't need to run so low. We've been friends and we've been friendly. I don't sing and I've never seen him again. Kayla is Kayla, and I'm Kaylin. She gambles at times and I never gamble. He's near and He's nearer. I know now and she knows too. It's hard to be a threat when you don't see the threat. She begged me once to step up into what she said she could see was a rich, delicate voice hiding in the shadows of a list of hit songs, but it's just never felt like a pair of shoes I needed to walk in.
