This is the beginning of my book hope you enjoy it

I MET MONICA NEWMAN, THE FIRST GIRL I'VE EVER LOVED AT A CAMP FOR TOURETTE'S KIDS IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS IN THE SUMMER OF 2001 AAAH CAMP DUNCAN. SOME OF MY VERY BEST CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.

THAT REALLY BROKE MY HEART BUT AT DINNER THE NEXT NIGHT, A SOUTH AMERICAN COUNSELOR IN MY CABIN NAMED OBDULIO, HINTED THAT THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF EVERY TUNNEL, GOT UP AND SPOKE WITH A PRETTY GIRL WHO, ACCORDING TO SOME OBSERVERS HAD BEEN EYEING ME FOR A FEW DAYS NOW.
