I live in a small town as well, (not terribly far from Pleasant Grove either) but "nothing" might possibly be more than the goings on here. I wonder how people can do things like that and sleep at night. I get terrible dreams about whatever I've done recently and it bothers me until I either forget about it or make it right. See, I looked at this particular book of hers because I struggle with... um.. thinking happy thoughts.. but as interesting a read as it sounded, I couldn't get past the fact that she was passing it off as truth and ruining these peoples' lives. People are so cruel sometimes... By the way I still can't find a copy anywhere. :( That’s scary stuff.

Much love. The only thing I can see is the phrase "Run off." It's a bit of a weak word choice, and I think a stronger verb would really paint a more poignant image. But other than that, it's marvelous. ^_^ I love the conciseness of this piece, and the rhyme scheme and overall tone. Much love.

The Pleasant Grove library lost its copy. I grew up in Pleasant Grove and heard all the urban legends. My father even used Jay's Journal in a lesson in Sunday School. I remember visiting his grave, and it was always being vandalized. My parents knew his family and it's sad that she did that to them when they trusted her. A lot of teens fell into a similar depression at the same time, a while later one was killed in a parking lot at the bank ran over after a fight. Not much happens in this small town, and it was a dark time. I’ve also been looking for A Place in the Sun: The Truth Behind Jay’s Journal. The Pleasant Grove library lost its copy.

But I'm sure he was just in a hurry to put his brother to rest once and for all. Of course, hasty work makes for less than adequate results. But as long as it's out there somewhere then somebody knows the truth and that's what matters.

I did a lot of work on the creation, publication and distribution of this book [I did the cover art and scanned the actual journal when I was 15-16] and Scott Barrett [author and brother of Alden "Jay" Barrett] wasn't exactly a well-thought-out businessman. I'm not trying to smear him or his family, I actually quite enjoyed working on the project, reading the book and attending the "rock-opera" by 'Grain' back when I was working on all of this with Barrett. It's just that I think Scott could have done well to retain some professional advice before he tried to get this book out onto shelves. Good luck.
