Feeling forgetful? Can't remember where the heck you set down your keys? Your glasses?
We've all been there.
But . . . what if you forgot your life?
What if that life wasn't worth remembering?
In spite of the happy cover, I HAVE PEOPLE deals with the sensitive issue of domestic abuse. It is about learning to recognize a good man versus a bad one. It's about second chances and finding love, real love.
The overpowering message behind I HAVE PEOPLE is that verbal, mental, and physical abuse is NOT OKAY! EVER!
Read along and learn Holly's story. It will change your life.

The Title of I Have People

The Title of I Have People
by Taylor Dean
When I first began to write I Have People, I had no idea what the title of the book was going to be! At about this same time, I was facing an empty nest for the first time in my life. The house was so very quiet. I was used to teenagers coming and going at all hours due to jobs and various activities, slumber parties, movie nights, music, and laughter. The house was a constant hub of activity. Suddenly, that time was over and I missed my children desperately. I felt lonely and sad. I buried myself in writing my novel, feeling just a little sorry for myself.
Then the phone calls from my children started to pour in. All. The. Time. It became increasingly hard to have a long period of time where I could write uninterrupted! I quickly realized that although my children had all left the nest, motherhood was far from over.
It was at this moment that I realized, I Have People, and I always will! That’s when the name for this book was born.

My main character, Holly, grew up in the foster care program and doesn’t have any people. She is an easy victim for a manipulative man. She finds herself in an abusive situation with nowhere to turn.
If one of my daughters found themselves in an abusive situation, my hubby and I would have them out of there in no time! And the husband had better fear the wrath of his mother-in-law! My daughters know this and are thankful to have ‘people.’
But, what if you have nowhere to turn? What do you do? Where do you go?
Read I Have People and find out what Holly does!
I love the title of this book because it reminds me to always be thankful for the ‘people’ in my life.
