BOOK SUMMARY:
Amanda Todd was a young girl who dealt with bullying for
three years. Lured into a bad decision
by a cyber-stalker when she was only 12 years old, she was mercilessly targeted
online and in real life over and over again, until it became more than she could
deal with.
She wanted to help other kids by sharing her story and
letting them know they should never be punished for who they are or for making
a mistake. AmandaToddLegacy.org is an
organization that reaches out to kids in need, educates about the harmful
effects of bullying and provides resources that can make a real difference.
If you don't know Amanda's story, you can search her on
YouTube and see a video she made 3 weeks prior to taking her own life (she
tells her story) because of 3 years of vicious bullying.
When people try to bring you down, it’s because you’re above
them.
You only need one person to believe in you… that person is
YOU.
With love to Princess Snowflake and others in need…
100% of the proceeds from sale of this book will be donated
toward that vision.
The authors are humbled and proud to offer our support to
this very worthy cause.

A MESSAGE FROM KAHLEN AYMES
I was approached by Flirty Dirty Book Blog after the RT
Convention last May about this cause so I researched Amanda's story and like so
many others, was moved to tears. I have a daughter that is just a year or two
younger than Amanda was when she ended her life. I asked Denise Tung...
"What if we put together a book where 100% of the proceeds went to help
fund the anti-bullying effort?" She was thrilled with the idea and then I
reached out to some of my author- friends. The response was overwhelming and
the rest, as they say, is history.
Now it is 16 stories (some missing scenes from a popular
series) and some brand new short stories, from 16 authors that reach across the
Young Adult, New Adult and Romance genres. It is our hope that our readers will
come together to support this very worthy cause and that we can help, in some
small way, to keep even one more child from suffering from this horrific
epidemic...
These are very generous women and I feel honored to share
pages with them.

2 Chicks And A Blog - ASHLEY'S REVIEW
Let me just start this by saying, WOW. I am beyond HONORED to have been selected to read and review this amazing set of short stories by some of my most favorite authors.
Stories for Amanda includes short stories, that are almost all 5 star worthy.
The pure fact that these authors took time from their busy schedule to write these stories for this amazing cause melts my heart. In an Indie world, that at times, is filled with drama and bullying of it's own, these authors took a step out of their own world in order to help this cause.
Bullying is a pandemic these days. Almost everyone is bullied in some way or another. This needs to stop. These stories revolve around a central theme and I'm sure I don't need to spell it out for you.
I wished, at the end of almost all of these stories, that they weren't just stories. I want more. This anthology has opened my eyes to many authors that I haven't read before. There will be some stalking in their near future.
Please purchase this book on the 22nd of October to help these authors support this cause.
Bullying needs to stop, people need to be aware of the effects of bullying and people need to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves.
2 Chicks and a Blog PROUDLY stand with these amazing authors against bullying, in any way, shape and form. We give STORIES FOR AMANDA 5 out of 5 'We'll Stand By You' Stars!!!
