New Year's Resolutions

Hazel Hinckley lives in the small town of Havenwood where everyone is born with an extraordinary gift. Hazel’s gift gives her the ability to perceive the feelings of others just by looking into their eyes. On her first day back from Winter Break, Hazel must write down three New Year's Resolutions for an assignment. The task seems daunting at first until a note is passed around the classroom, giving Hazel the perfect idea for her third and final resolution.

"New Year's Resolution" is the first of several short stories based off of the characters who reside in Havenwood. Visit melindajoywrites.blogspot.com for more information about "Gifted" and the characters of Havenwood.
