Sometimes our first impressions are dead on. But snap judgments aren’t always the best ones. As a teen, Sage Tyrtle stumbles on a boy in a virtual chat room and decides to travel to the other side of the country to meet him; Dallas Ducar, a psychiatric nurse, must face her fear during a life-saving encounter with a neo-Nazi patient; and unlucky in love, Kevin Allison finds love by coincidence and a twist of fate. Three storytellers, three interpretations of FIRST IMPRESSIONS, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
This is the world’s biggest mental health problem you may not have heard about.

Mommy, I Found The Moon!
Children’s Books
This Is a story about the magnificent discovery I made when I was a little girl. It all began with my mother who began reading to me in the womb.
