The Early Days

          I am making steady progress in my beloved novel Now is the Hour and I am wrapping up the section titled "The Early Days". In this section you get to peer into the early childhood of Rigby John Klusner, while it was still golden. At the end of this section it explains why his early childhood lost its gold touch a little later on. Rigby's life losing its polish, is the work of a sibling. His little brother, Russell Klusner.
         Russell was no evil villan though. His life just threw a bit of a curve ball that the family couldn't quite prepare themselves for. No no Russell's life wasn't a mistake. A perfectly planned baby, born a cripple.The stress of not only letting him grow up happy, but struggling to see him grow up at all was too much. "Mom was never the same. The music stopped, and she locked herself inside her room with Dad, and me and Sis were outside her room, and her eyes were never the same. I couldn't find her anywhere in them."
          There was lots of tension when his little brother was born. Luckily, this section of the book shows lots and lots of times before Russell was even alive. It shows every flicker of gold there could possibly be in the little boy's life. I think to watch those times slowly become less and less frequent helped this book really get a hold of your emotions. Still highly recommend this book! Please pick it up if you ever get the chance.
