Just Point at Him
If a man pays his dues, is he ever out of debt? Are his past mistakes
ever forgiven? In our struggle to protect the helpless, have we lost the
ability to determine who is innocent?
Gregory Torti may not have the perfect past, but learned from his mistakes and was ready to move on. The justice system has a different idea of him, and no matter the facts it is willing to cast aside reasonable doubt. Just as Gregory was ready to live the honest American dream, he is thrown into a battle for true freedom.

Some of us have that special person we are connected to long before we
arrive in this world. Some of us have that special person we are
connected to long after everyone else has forgotten them.
This story is about such a person, my Dawn. The one who inspired me to be content with less and to fearlessly stay awake while following my dreams. The one I will always miss seeing standing on our porch and waiting for me to come back to Sarajevo, to come back home.

Review of Occasional Writers
I was always amazed by
personal stories tell by people I have never met in my life, and no matter how my
experience may differ from theirs, are able through its contents to make me
feel close and connected. This is exactly what I got from reading this book.
Occasional Writers show people from different walks of life, lawyers, teachers,
homemakers, and others who carried different memories in their hearts while
meeting at the same place, with the same goal—to bring the past forward. Based
in Charleston, Illinois, the memoir group called Past/Forward wrote short stories,
poems, words through which they preserved and shared their memories, and words
through which a reader is reminded of many reasons why we laugh, why we cry,
why we cherish some experience more than others, and why people come into and
leave out our lives. We can read from a first date in the childhood to a marriage
proposal, adored father, some beautiful moments from a grandmother’s life and
many others. This book proves that behind every life is a story, and Occasional
Writers might actually inspire others to write their own. It certainly inspired
me, as one of the poems in the book goes: I
wish, I wish, I wish, that I could write just one more poem. Past cannot be changed; we can only
change its role in our lives. Every moment is destined to become past and many
of us, just as people who wrote Occasional Writers, have those moments that we
want always to remember.
