*Quote of the Month*

Every nasty and wicked person is born with good in them: whether or not they made a conscious choice to do evil is irrelevant. Every life has a price. When you take one, or allow it to be taken, you must repay it. The same goes for saving one.

Group Info

This is a group created for :iconpeibee-an-jay:'s work-in-progress novel, "Paper Stars" to house it's various artwork, fanart and writing pieces and for fans of the characters to learn more about them.

The novel is told from the POV of Sara Fleischer, a sixteen-year-old girl belonging to a middle-class Catholic family in the German city of Cologne. Her life is ordinary, even bordering on mundane, filled with lazy summer days with her best friend and neighbor, Saul, school, and hours spent practicing her singing and dancing, hoping that one day she will be able to leave Germany and become an actress. But things change drastically for her when her family takes in a Jew during the summer of 1944. Enter Benjamin Jastrow, the sixteen-year-old son of Sara's mother's best friend. His soft-spoken demeanor and his gentle temperament eventually draws Sara in, and during the months they spend together, they become inseparable, forming a powerful bond. He teaches her to look past what she see's with her eyes, to trust, to forgive, and to find the beauty in life no matter how hopeless it seems. But when danger rears it's ugly head, they must find a way to survive, to stay together, and to always keep hold of their hope. It's a story about the hardships and injustices faced in life, especially in WW2, about rising above hate and keeping hold of the hope that keeps us alive.

My friend is currently editing my manuscript: when she's done, I'm going to find an agent and pursue publication :)

I have already fallen in love with this. To say that it is utterly awesome is the understatement of the century!
