When Stars Leave the Sky

by Josh W. Ellerbeck

High schooler Rodney Taylorson has been battling the thoughts of inadequacy for quite some time. But after the toxic influences in his life through bullying and ignorance have come and gone, Rodney delves deeper into weight loss, believing that this will bring him acceptance. However, as he grows and moves up in high school, so does the presence of depression, anxiety and overbearing hunger. With the help of his friends, family and God, Rodney learns what it means to be truly happy again, and he discovers what life is all about along the way. It’s an adventure of love, tears, self-realization, chasing dreams and pure joy that will have you captivated to the very last page. This story will encourage you to not just break the mold, but to bend it with all of your might, so that no one can ever use it again.
