Fairytales. We all love fairytales because there is a piece of us, a sliver of innocence left from our youth that suddenly surfaces when revealed by the printed page or silver screen. It’s there in our inner self, the part that still believes in magical tales. Looking at fairy tales through the lens of science reveals that some stories aren’t as far-fetched as they appear to be. This is where the wonders of pure imagination kick in. Many stories focus on animals that are always the eternal underdogs. Who didn’t love the stories of Bambi, Lassie, and Black Beauty? They are essentially fairy tales, but hauntingly told with a modicum of truth and reality. The ingenious Walt Disney did it best as his characters came to life via animation, bringing fantasy and imagination to reality and utilizing the tried and tested ‘feel good’ philosophy that ‘Dreams Can Come True.’ That is, after some trials and tribulations, of course. Although the story of Gunner is factual, there are parts that have been enhanced and exaggerated in adherence to pure storytelling. In true Walt Disney like inspiration, Gunner is the basic ‘rags to riches’ saga of an ordinary racehorse that overcomes incredible adversity to emerge as the extraordinary equine legend he is today. After reading the story, formulate your own conclusion. Can horses really communicate with one another? Do they connect with and even reflect human emotions?Is there really that elusive Rainbow Bridge between Heaven and Earth where departed pets idyllically await their owners’ crossing? It’s your call, but I know one thing: Dreams Do Come True ---- just ask Gunner.

Born in Onitsha Nigeria, a 4-year-old boy by the name of Chukwudi migrates to America with his mother and sister and almost completely loses his identity in the American institutionalized school system. Along with the peer pressure to look, talk, walk and live American, and fueled by media propaganda, it takes Chukwudi fifteen years before he reconnects with the Spiritual umbilical cord of Africa and another seven years before he frees his mind from the shackles "the land of the free" chained him to. Take an eight month journey with Chukwudi from May 1 of 2011 to December 29 of the same year and feel the turbulence on this fast track acceleration to self awareness when Spiritual consciousness is fed up with knocking at ones door and bust through mental levies like the waters of Hurricane Katrina. Travel through the mind of a once-brainwashed immigrant who was forced to pledge his allegiance to a foreign countries agenda. Feel the fire when the mind gets higher and then feel the blaze that brings the mental barbwires down to a glistening glaze. Take a hard look at the well-planned out maze that put some clueless families in a permanent daze. See how having inner-peace, love, and joy soothes pain. Know what breaks the evil hypnotic gaze. Then marvel at how the crawling caterpillar becomes a beautiful, aerial, multicolored, vibrant butterfly.

Mariah Stevens doesn't take no for an answer. Her take-charge, tough-as-nails exterior has helped her become Book Review Editor at Spirit Magazine - no small feat considering she's only 29. She lives in a stunning apartment in Manhattan, her clothes are ripped straight from the runways, and her manicured nails are never chipped. Life is good. Her secret weapon? Her long, glorious weave, which she's been wearing since she was 16. It's her power, her strength, and she's completely addicted to it. She can't even remember what her real hair looks like. In a sudden move, Spirit Magazine folds, and for the first time in her life Mariah is left asking, "What's next?" WIth her savings dwindling, she's forced to remove her weave and make the call that she hasn't made in years - the call home. Now Mariah is back home in Houston, living with her bi-racial sister and light-skinned mother, both of whom are blessed with hair long enough to sleep in. Mariah has always stuck out like a sore thumb, and is constantly reminded of such with her dark skin and short, kinky hair. Living in Houston has Mariah facing her old demons, and without the support of her weave she's losing her most important asset: her self-confidence. When she discovers a family secret, it opens doors to her past and threatens to break her already fragile world apart. With her sister by her side, Mariah is determined to learn the truth. Unbeweaveable is about Mariah's quest to confront questions of love, loyalty, and family to find her way back home.
