After her high school graduation, Hanna was ready to embark on a new adventure, college, gaining a fresh start and a completely clean slate. It’s not all fun and games as she tries to make friends, deal with life, and finish homework. The past seems to haunt her as her dad wants to be back into her life, bringing up old wounds. After several choices, some she made and others she didn’t, Hanna finds herself hitting rock bottom with a thud. Desperate to diminish the pain building inside her, she copes with her insecurities and feelings of unworthiness with self-harm and other means. With the guidance of a few close friends and no one else to turn to, Hanna resorts to the only thing she has left, her Bible. She turns to God, pressing into Him to make it through the semester and the obstacles she is facing, changing her from the inside out.

Dallas Lore Sharp was born in 1870 in Haleyville, Cumberland County, New Jersey. After a childhood spent exploring the fields, forests, and swamps of South Jersey, he attended Brown University and eventually became Professor of English at Boston University. Writing in the first quarter of the twentieth century, Sharp was among the most popular nature writers of his time. He mused on aspects of nature that could be found in one's backyard - native birds, small mammals, creeks, trees and loose fall leaves - successfully translating the wild world into his readers' living rooms. The present volume is a selection of essays from The Whole Year Round, originally published as four shorter texts, each based on a season. In these essays Sharp concentrates upon the small scale of the natural world, a focus that highlights the grandness of nature as a whole.
