Description: Taken from the author’s own experiences, Matthew is an incredibly intriguing narrative, a slice-of-life autobiography, beautifully woven with an enticing dose of humor, mind-blowing twists of drama, and even a sprinkling of romance. In this superbly-written short story, Pamela Harmsen recounts the events that transpired when she was held hostage in her high school by armed students. The leader of the militant hostage-takers happened to be Matthew, her childhood sweetheart. Harmsen’s survival remains inexplicable even to her and can only be described as miraculous.  Through a combination of artistic expression, philosophical and literary elements, and a strongly-defined voice, this riveting and deeply stirring personal account will not only have you sitting at the edge of your seat, but will often have you questioning our understanding of the deep forces within our universe.
