The Boot three years on. There have been some changes and improvements to The Boot, partly thanks to fund raising and charitable donations, and in part thanks to Christian Edwards benefactor to The Boot. Some 'guests' have moved on, some remaining homeless, but others having been helped are now in independent accommodation either working or looking for work. This is the continued story of The Boot, it's staff and 'guests.'

It is not necessary to read The Boot beforehand but it may help to understand some of what is happening now and in its future.

Will 'real life' mirror the story George Washington has written?

Ben & Jake have spend two more weekends together. During the second of these they discover George has written another story...

The second of the Lost Soul collection. A glimpse into the past of one of the leading characters from The Boot series. Here we will learn of the good and not-so-good times in John/Christian's past.

This story has been revised and edited to improve reader experience, it has not been altered in any other way. 30th June 2023.

Having received that email, George reflects on his story details.

This series uses the Camp Refuge setting. If you want the best reading experience, then read Guarded, Camp Refuge, A Silent Song, and Broken. They are shorts, though. So if you're feeling impatient, then just dive in.

I will update this sporadically, and each chapter will be stand-alone (mostly - there may be recurring characters down the line).

I really wanted to create something that showed off the effect the camp has on regular folks just coming to camp. Little snapshots of lives lived and changed thanks to Greg's dream.

I hope you enjoy it.
