Shadow Heart (#1): What if you were afraid to even turn the doorknob to your front door when coming home because of what might wait inside? What would it take to make you step out of your shadows, to once and for all break free from the twisted security of familiarity, and take a chance, a little risk, that could change everything? What if you could ask for what you want without being afraid? Could you trust another person that much? Could you trust yourself to ask it and be willing to face rejection, having to try again? And what if you could truly begin to conquer those deep fears that hide inside you, allow your heart to open, become vulnerable, and have the chance for real intimacy--the kind that allows another to come closer than you've ever let anyone before? What if you dared to be loved and because you did, you transitioned into an unbelievable and brilliant joy? My name is Nicky Young. This is my family saga and a love story that tells about the horrible, beautiful, twisted, amazing vulnerability of family dysfunction and how I overcame fears of abandonment and deep intimacy. Relationships were things to be held at a distance. When I learned to open my heart and trust another - and myself - I was able to really, really, be alive.

Fire Heart (#2): My heart is on fire. For the first time in my life, I am awake and the desires I've pushed down are smoldering. The shadows of my youth are daring me to step away from them and new visions circle through my head including the possible intimacy I never before dared to dream. My name is Nicky Young. This is my coming of age story and a saga of family dysfunction and alcoholism and how it affects every day choices, decisions and relationships. I want to live differently from my parents--an alcoholic father and co-dependent mother. I know I need to forgive, trust and open my heart, but those things are battles I'm not sure I can win. As I look in the mirror, I am seeing a new woman emerging--one I'm not sure of and trying hard to discover. The lack of affection in my household made me understand it wasn't wise to get too close to anyone. Rage and violence lurked when we became vulnerable and the way I learned to protect myself was to build high and thick walls of dense around my heart. I dream about having a full, open and intimate relationship. I want an adult romance but I'm not I can trust myself that much. Now a man, a professional baseball player named Ryan Tilton seems to be a kindred spirit. Having lost his father at fourteen and knowing what abandonment feels like, I feel a connection that's as deep as I've ever felt. But he goes on the road every two weeks. I can't express the doubts and the feelings I have about all the women attracted to him for fear he'll choose one of them while I battle my spiritual beliefs of having sex before marriage. Can he wait for me? Can I understand his challenges and my own?

Jagged Heart (#3): Swept into a romance with professional baseball player, Ryan Tilton, we've just had an evening of dreams—until I wouldn't have sex with him. I couldn't risk it. To me, sex means marriage. It means love and forever. I tried to explain. I didn't hide it. But to him, it means love, acceptance, and that he wouldn't be abandoned the same way he was when a boy of fourteen and his father was killed in the Middle East. He's pleaded with me to tell him my feelings and openly tells me he loves me. I can't repeat the words. Once I do, he'll abandon me just like my parents—discounting my feelings because they can't deal with their own. I couldn't risk it. I knew he'd leave. Dad battles his alcoholism. Mom embraces her co-dependency. They've gambled with their daughters' mental and physical safety multiple times over the years. I'm at a crossroads trying to understand this threshold of being an adult, yet emerging from childhood. It's as if a tornado has taken me into it's roar spun and tossed me around, breaking me away as I cling to the twisted security of my family—even the word "secure" sends a shiver through me. I've never been. Being raised in an dysfunctional family battling alcoholism whispers, stay hidden in the shadows, be safe, don't be noticed or share too much. I know this is it. I need to take a risk. I need to let go of old fears, forgive my parents, embrace intimacy and move forward. I need to trust—especially myself—so that I can transition into joy.
