OK, I've posted the opening chapter of Jessica's Story, one of 2 real life situation serials. For anyone who decides to follow it, there is another serial that I'm doing, called Michelle's Story, that runs along side this one. The two stories are connected, even though they follow their own paths, and there are chapters that apply to both.

Part 10 of Jessica's Story, is also Part 4 of Michelle's Story, just to highlight what I mean.

In fact, Michelle's Story is a spin off. It came purely out of a need to provide back story for the adults in Jessica's Story, such as explaining why Adam thinks the way he does, and why the rest of his family don't.

Michelle is Jessica's cousin, the third of 4 (though the number is 3 from the start) and likewise, a boy who wishes to be a girl. She has parents who are willing to support her, though she doesn't initially know it, and keeps it hidden. This leads to problems elsewhere, and her first encounter with Jessica proves life changing.

The two stories do contain references to the other, at times. I'll try to post the chapters so that neither gets too far ahead of the other.
