We're crying for them, come back home...

So, I'm writing this book called "The Broken Glass." For my playwriting class last semester I wrote a ten minute play based on the first chapter. After I have it all done, I think it would be fun to write a script for the whole thing... a screenplay. And there are a few songs that I just think would be great in the movie someday, if it ever happens. Which, lets be honest, isn't likely. But if my brother gets into the film business like he wants maybe I'll have a chance.

"The Broken Glass" is about a young air force family. Kadience and Cameron Leigh have a little girl named Madison and a new baby on the way. Kadience is shocked by the news that Cameron has gone missing in action. The book is mostly about her coping with the help of an old friend, Landon Benson. It is written in third person, but there are letters scattered throughout. I don't want to give away the end... but I'm really excited about it. I have a long way to go, but once I really get trekking on it, it shouldn't take me terribly long to get it written out. I have the beginning and end all figured out, I just need the in between.

So, here are some songs that I definitely want in the soundtrack...who knows if it will actually happen, but it would be awesome.
