About Blue Sky Gone:
Audrey Moretti always knew she wanted to be a police officer, but she never expected it would take her on the most harrowing venture of her life—the search for her sister on September 11th, 2001…
Audrey has made it to the final weeks of the police academy, and after five grueling months, she’s solely focused on graduating. But on a quiet Tuesday morning, her life changes in an instant when she hears that an airplane has struck the World Trade Center. She knows her sister, Hannah, is in trouble; she can feel it. In a bold move, she risks all and finds herself at Ground Zero—a decision that will change her life forever.
Hannah, a young Wall Street hopeful, works on the 84th floor in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. In the weeks leading up to the attacks of 9/11, everything is going right. Her career is taking off, and she unexpectedly finds true love in the city. When she witnesses from her office window the first plane strike the North Tower, nothing will ever be the same again. She follows her instinct to evacuate the South Tower, but will she escape the stairwell before the tower collapses…?
Haunting questions remain for years after the tragedy, until a visit from a stranger and a handwritten note surface. Grief makes way for hope, in this deeply moving story of love, loss, strength, and courage, during a dark time in America’s recent history.

About Celest: Every Day Is Closer To The End:
Celest is not surprised when her father abandons her and her mother, Evelyn, after learning that his daughter has a chronic illness. It was only a matter of time before he found some excuse to get rid of them. However, she is surprised when a strange doctor offers them a place to stay, to pay off her medical bills, and a trained diabetic alert dog. �
Celest wants to believe in this promise of change, but she knows all too well that good things never last. Dr. Marie does her best to reassure Celest, but she can’t shake the feeling that her mother is hiding more from her - something more than her father’s abuse. �
Celest is tired of fighting for this life and is welcoming the idea of the end. Just before she throws in the towel, she crosses paths with two peculiar girls. For the first time in her life, she is around people that make her feel more alive. Now she’s at a crossroad: should she let go and succumb to her depression, or should she take a leap of faith towards her newfound hope?
