A Day in Carmen's Life

By Carmen Mae Zirkle

A Day in Carmen’s Life is a story about a girl who is mature for her age. She has so many grown up choices to make that she becomes closed off and in her own mind when someone is talking to her. Her utopia is her mind and she feels like no one listens to her or wants to listen to her and that no one has time for her or her feelings. She does manifest herself into someone she always wanted to be as the story moves as she is coming of age.

Carmen is complex and feels like the world around her is crashing when she has to go throw these pivotal moments in her life, and not suck herself into her own imagination. When she has finally come to the conclusion that she has to let things go and not punish herself for others’ actions, she blooms into someone who is wise and witty.

I want to thank Austin Macauley for taking the time and giving me a chance to help make one of my many dreams come true by publishing my memoir and help me through the publishing process. I hope to work with them more in the future and let them help me become even a bigger name in the author industry.

Have you ever had that one person in your life that always tries to get the last word in? No matter what you say or do, they are always criticizing you. As you get older, it does not get any easier either.

Carmen has a story to tell you. She was a shy but not kind of girl. She followed her dad’s morals to a tee. If he asked her to do something, she would be right there no matter how tired she was. He was
