Being Noah

Ten-year-old Noah has a gift beyond the natural gifts of humans. This ability allows him to hear the thoughts of the family therapy dog Ozzie and to see visions of the future which go unnoticed by the people who should love him and trust him the most.Noahs brother Sean is on the autism spectrum and receives more attention from their parents at least more than Noah gets...which causes him to feel angst sadness frustration and jealousy. Noah wants what all children want love and acceptance. He needs his parents and grandmother to trust him and help him gain confidence in himself.Being Noah is a story of a boy believing in himself even when others dont and finding a way to use his gifts so he can affect change in the world and lives of those around him.Being Noah is Margaret Cheryl Hardys first and only work written in the MFA program at Western Colorado University. Hardy passed away before it could be published and we are proud to present Being Noah for the first time in print.
