Writer’s Life – Episode 5: “Wings Spread Out” – The Book That Healed

🎬📚 Writer’s Life – Episode 5: “Wings Spread Out” – The Book That Healed 📚🎬

📅 A New Beginning, A Deeper Story

Benjamin Parker was now a recognized name in the indie author world. But after the wild fantasy world of The Forger Trilogy, he wanted to write something… real.

Something that would touch hearts 💔 — not just fuel imagination.

One day, while walking past a hospital where he once visited a family friend after an accident, Benjamin had a wave of emotion hit him. He sat at a nearby bench, pulled out his journal, and wrote four words:

“Wings Spread Out”

💡📖 About the Book

📘 Title: Wings Spread Out

📚 Genre: Contemporary drama / Real-life inspired fiction

💥 Based on: A real accident Benjamin witnessed as a child, where a teenager in his neighborhood lost his ability to walk… but found a new reason to live.

📜 Plot of “Wings Spread Out” 🦋

🌆 Set in the city of Oakland, the story follows a 15-year-old boy named Jayden Cross, a talented BMX biker and dreamer.

🏁 His goal: Win the state freestyle championship.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Supported by: His single mom, younger sister Mia, and best friend Lucas.

🚲 Tragedy strikes: While training for the championship, Jayden is hit by a speeding car during a late-night ride.

🛏️ He wakes up paralyzed from the waist down. Dreams shattered. Life flipped.

💭 Depression. Rage. Isolation. But one thing keeps him going — his sketchbook.

✍️ Through his drawings, Jayden starts writing letters to his "future self."

He ends up discovering a community of youth with disabilities who support each other.

🎨 Inspired by his art, a local designer invites Jayden to help design a custom wheelchair BMX course.

🔥 Jayden becomes a public speaker and starts a movement called “Wings Spread Out”, symbolizing that even when your legs are taken… your dreams can still fly.

🦋 Final line of the book:

“They said I’d never walk again.

But they never said I couldn’t soar.”

🖋️💻 The Writing Process

Benjamin wrote the entire novel in two weeks. He didn’t add magic or monsters. Just raw emotion. Pain. Hope. Growth. 🌧️☀️

His mom, Clarissa, read it in one night and hugged him in tears.

“This one’s going to change lives, Ben.” 🥺

🏷️💵 Publishing & Price

Benjamin self-published 50 copies through his small press label Parker Pen Prints and listed it for $10 each — not for profit, but for purpose.

Each book came with a note:

💌 “To whoever reads this —

If you’ve ever felt grounded by life, may this story remind you…

Your wings are waiting.”

– Benjamin Parker 🖋️
