PARENTAL ADVISORY: MA - EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING - FROM THE AUTHOR: This book was written to address sex. It's my best effort not to shy away from the details, and it's my hope that this story will initiate many conversations about what is healthy and holy about this all-too-often-considered-taboo topic. PREFACE: Hi, my name is Eddy Kraft. I bought a journal from the bookstore years ago and found it on our family bookshelf, oh, about nine months ago now. Things were a bit different back then, and when I say, 'a bit, ' I'm saying there was a gnarly bit in the horse's mouth that completely changed the direction of my bandwagon...figuratively. Anyway, I ended up naming my journal, 'Great Gravitations, ' to be like my favorite novel, 'Great Expectations, ' by Charles Dickens, but I'm only a teenager, and he was like a genius writer. So, a few things happened that triggered me to pull this journal off the shelf, the first being, I was at a volleyball game, okay, one of Melanie Westin's volleyball games. It wasn't the game itself that got me journaling, but it was my friend Charles (not Dickens) that I happened to meet at the game. He accused me of having a crush on a volleyball player, i.e. Melanie Westin (it was her fourth turn to serve in the second set, because she's pretty good, and I was staring, because she's pretty.) It was true, and I admitted it. Then after pushing my arm and laughing with me, he's a good school friend, he said that I should journal my thoughts to get them off my chest, because sitting like a creepy schoolboy at a volleyball game would only cause me to psychologically implode. Then I asked him why he was there, and he only beat around the bush while the color of his skin turned fuchsia. Backslider. That's the first reason for my journaling. The second reason was much greater than the first, and that will take a story to tell, a story that I hope you will find honest and helpful. And yes, it's about Melanie Westin, and yes, it's about sex, and yes, I know it's weird to read my private thoughts about the two, but I figured something out. Not alone, granted. My father, my mother, Mr. Kloomsfield (my health class teacher), and even the famous Solomon (the all-wise one from the Bible that wrote his own book) helped me figure it out, and Melanie Westin helped me prove it was true. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Josiah Hutchison was born in Michigan and attended High School in Portage where he began his pursuit in writing lyrical poetry. For the birth of his son in 2011 he self-published 'The Story of a Cloud, ' a children's bedtime story of a cloud racing the sun to the top of the sky. Then after many conversations with friends, concerning the epidemic topics of the day, he set out to write the fictional story of Anna Purse. When he had finished the manuscript, now published as 'The Monstrosity or Anna Purse, ' in 2018, Josiah set out to work on his two other topical pieces, 'All In a Girl's Best Interest' being one of them. Then in 2019, he whittled his second manuscript down to its present size, hoping the story's boldness and brevity would address what wasn't being talked about in the home and would expose the misrepresentations found in the public sphere.
