Metamorphosis

A Short Story Collection

My metamorphosis as a writer

After I finished my second memoir, Changing My Perspective, my writing hand felt itchy. I knew I had to write something else, or I’d just go mad. I decided to try my hand at composing fiction. What to write about, though?

I realized I needed to write about what I knew. This is what gave me the idea for "Gretch the Wretch".

It was so much fun writing about the adventures Gretchen Stone experiences as an attendee at her first National Federation of the Blind convention. How does Gretchen pull off her surprise win at the end?

Then, "Saving Beth’s Baby" just poured from my soul. In real life, Beth spent the entire second year of her first son’s life fighting that first court battle. Will Beth be able to save her son from the sinister greed of her mother’s lawyers?

I knew I was onto something with my strategy, so I continued to write.

Next, "The Trials of Tracey Jones" just popped out of me. In this story, I share the trials Tracey bravely faces head-on as the only blind student in her small, rural high school. Things don’t go too well for poor Tracey as she struggles to cope with high school with no accommodations. Will Tracey be in the lineup on graduation day in the spring?

Then, when Penni Plumber is dragged into court and stripped of her Constitutional Rights by her four parents and their sneaky lawyers, she finds herself asking the question: “So, what now?” Will Penni ever escape from their menacing plans for her?

I was so inspired as I wrote Metamorphosis. There are six stories in all. I hope my listeners enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed writing them for you.

Short and enjoyable stories

Life is full of many expected opportunities and unexpected surprises. Challenges can occur and cause many surprises. In this book I enjoyed how the author Rebecca S. Meadows took the reader by the hand to explain her daily life struggles dealing with her TBI and how her parents and the court deemed she was too insane. Rebecca wanted to prove to her parents and the court that indeed she did not have issues and what her parents and the lawyers did to her was totally wrong. Rebecca strongly woke up from the coma and fully regained her strength and power to achieve what is possible today! Rebecca was able to prove to the reader that the mind can be repaired utilizing focus, and meditation. In Metamorphosis it gave me an insight to be a stronger believer and advocate for Intellectual Disability.
