Book Description
Fifteen-year-old Walter Stypes did not approve of his parents decision to move to a small town in rural Alabama. Nor did he approve of his father's equally unjust decision to make him dig up an old stump in the backyard of their newly purchased historic home. Admittedly yes, Walter had begged for years to have a private bathroom separate from "the unnecessaries," his three younger siblings, but having to clear a stump to make way for extensive house renovations was taking matters too far.After all, it was Wade, the town bully, who had thrown the first book in the library. Walter had only acted in self-defense. Kennie, the creative girl who sat in front of Water in English, was his eye witness. But it was Woody, the stuttering oversized man/boy Walter had secretly recruited to be his personal bodyguard, who actually found the secret. The buried secret that would lead the unlikely trio on a quest to dig up the truth about an old legend regarding a haunted tree in the town cemetery.Stumped is a redemptive, yet humorous, coming-of-age story that champions the pursuit of goodness, truth, and beauty. Readers of all ages will treasure this heartwarming story about friends, courage, and finding a real home.

Book Description
Seventeen-year-old Ozzy has a super-hot girlfriend who's ready to take their relationship to the next level. Tonight. At the lake. But a missing condom scuttles his plans for seduction. Furious, Ozzy takes his girlfriend home and drives off-into the path of an oncoming truck. He wakes up with both legs amputated above the knees. When his girlfriend runs out gagging after one look at him, Ozzy knows he's a hideous freak. He's convinced he's blown any chance of having a real relationship with a girl. Determined to prove he can still be a man despite his disability, Ozzy throws himself into dumping his virginity, but finds there's a limited number of people willing to touch legless dudes in wheelchairs. His obsession takes him into an underworld of brothels and escort services where he discovers the difference between sex and intimacy, and that sometimes the price is much higher than a sex worker's fee.

There he befriends the highly unconventional Regan family, the rough-and-tumble owners of a million-acre sheep station, and falls in love with their daughter Mollie. However, when Mollie goes to join him in America, the young couple must face the realization that they are products of radically different worlds.
