Raising Sentry reveals elements of courage beyond years, religious faith, military life, along with traditional southern family values. This story is biographical fiction and is the first of a series designed to follow along as Sentry develops the mental armor needed to overcome life challenges. In this organic narrative several short stories are closely related. The protagonist is a twelve year old girl who narrates her story. The opening reveals the trauma predestined to infect her entire being. The narrator switches between first person and third person in order to make the connection between traumatic experiences; at times she is in the storyline and apart of the trauma; then as if standing on the sideline viewing it as it unfolds. This is artistic form the author uses to bring attention to the content provided by the changes in tense.The story takes place during the 1950’s and early 1960’s in Arkansas, Hawaii, and throughout California’s various military bases. However, the prime location is in San Diego, California; the story starts here but this is not where the story begins. The flash backs in time pull the story together and provides the reader with a glimpse into the protagonist’s care free life with her loving family members in the segregated south.My name is Sentry. Social conditioning, environmental exposure, family values, as well as biological makeup are strong factors toward determining one’s mind set and actions. No less is true for me as her first born. I have been mentally charged with the lifelong duty to serve and to protect. My birth was the direct response of unwanted and unsolicited desires of Mr. Walter Jolton; the much older, married man in the neighborhood who lusted after my teen mother, Stella; the eldest of my grandparents’ twelve children. She had no idea of his desire for her; so, she went about her life as a normal teenager. Her high school studies and her responsibility to care for and after her younger siblings were first of her major concerns; having no idea that she was being watched. This forbidden encounter leaves young Stella depressed, then upon hearing the news of her expecting birth (a baby girl), she becomes withdrawn feeling that her world along with her dreams were now shattered. She finds strength in prayer along with her loving family and friends. The story now focuses on and travels through the life of her unwanted child, as she takes on the trials set in her path.

Derecho al desistimiento

Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento

Derecho legal de desistimiento

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.

El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.

Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Efectos del desistimiento

Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.

Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.

Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.

Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.

Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a BargainBookStores, Grand Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
