Crooked Sticks Draw Straight Lines

Yvette Myers learned early that some wounds leave no visible scars. Growing up in a small military town, books became her refuge, rain her comfort, and silence her greatest survival skill. As childhood gives way to betrayal, violence, impossible choices, and questions no child should have to ask, she searches for one thing she has never truly known—a place where she can breathe. Told through the colors of memory and the moments that quietly reshape a life, Crooked Sticks Draw Straight Lines is not a story about perfection or easy healing. It is about the people who leave fingerprints on our lives: a father who called her "e;Little One,"e; a sister who stood between her and the world, teachers who saw her gifts before she did, a grandfather who always spoke as though she had a future, and unexpected friendships that proved hope can survive even the darkest seasons. Heartbreaking, honest, and ultimately hopeful, this novel reminds us that brokenness is never the end of the story. Because even crooked sticks can draw straight lines. Crooked Sticks Draw Straight Lines is the first book in a trilogy following Vette's journey from childhood innocence to the woman she is still becoming.
