Dedication
To Mrs. Bailey, whose red ink cut deep in my adolescent heart…Where would we be without our teachers?

Literally borne of fire, Hannah enters this world prematurely and stoned out of her mind. Twelve families later she emerges from foster care into the campus of adulthood, struggling with the reality of her sexual orientation against idealized Sunday school memories. When she crosses paths with her first foster dad at a veterinary convention, a road to redemption begins to clear as Hannah struggles to right the wrongs that define her life. Enormous stakes overshadow her quest and every outcome has consequences, both personally and for the world. Lyrical prose against a harsh reality bring life and meaning to this deeply satisfying story.

Hi Benjamin Leavens,
I just finished reading your story Ortiz Lane and I loved it so much. Your writing is amazing, and I kept thinking how cool it would look as a comic.
I really loved the scene in Chapter 3 where Hannah meets her first foster father at the veterinary convention. It was a poignant moment that set the tone for the story. It is ideal for making a comic as it introduces the protagonist's journey and the complex relationships she navigates in a visually compelling way.
I’m a commissioned artist, and I’d love to draw your story into a comic/manga. No pressure though, I just think your work would look awesome in comic form.
You can check out some of my recent work on my DeviantArt (Username - Ev3Verse). If you’re interested, please message me on Discord (Username - Eve_Verse) so we can bring the story to life visually. I'll be waiting to hear from you!
Regards,
Evee
