Writing was never a career option for me. I was going to be a Harvard-Grad Lawyer. But then I turned fourteen and all my plans changed. When not writing, Sydney Paige McCutcheon can be found with her nose in a book, her butt in a movie theatre, music blaring through buds in her ears, and her eyes to the sky. She loves God, spending time with her family, coffee, tea, rainy days, board games, animals, the ocean and random facts (just to name a few). Growing up, she listed three main careers to wanted to pursue (all at once): singing, being a farmer, and a lawyer. She was first introduced to Creative Writing in the fourth grade through poetry and it was soon clear that she had the gift of rhyme, but her plans for being a Harvard-Grad lawyer didn't change. Writing was a fun hobby and a way to express things, feelings, dreams, and thoughts but nothing (at that time) more. In 2003 she won first place in the Mayo Clinic Center for Humanities in Medicine Creative Writing Contest for her grade level. Though she continued to write poems and short stories throughout middle school, it wasn't until the beginning of eighth grade that she attempted writing a novel. The medieval novel is now considered a 'lost work' because at the end of the first semester her family was moving and she gave the unfinished book to a friend as a dramatic keepsake. What has happened to it? She isn't sure but has no hard feelings. That summer, at age fourteen, all her plans for being a lawyer (and even the faded dream of owning a farm) were gone and in place was a new dream(s). As she ventured through high school ideas kept coming to her for books and films. She wrote them down, and over the course of her senior year in high school she completed a novel. That summer, she wrote another titled Henry. In August 2014, Henry was published.

When Prue Collins is sent into Witness Protection outside a small town in Astoria, Oregon, she doesn't expect a cold shoulder from the man meant to protect her. Rude and sarcastic, Ex-Officer Henry Clay wants nothing to do with his new roommate, and doesn't mask any hard feelings, only secrets. His wheelchair gives Prue a glimpse of his tragic past and she can't fight curiosity as more clues come her way, opening her eyes to the true stranger she's been sent to live with—and possibly, meant to help save. But Prue has a secret of her own—one that risks more than just her own life: she's pregnant. Can these two come together to keep her safe, or will the truth only push them further apart?
