My First

Book

 

 

Somewhere in time, this week, I published my first book.  I have written others, but this one I felt was complete. With the others, I seem to keep writing sequels.  I hope to get all of them together and published in the next year.

I do consider myself a story teller, but more than that, I am a creator of parables.  Can I tell a story that shares a truth? I hope so because that is what my goal is. 

My story is set in the early 1930’s with the beginning of the Great Depression. With this story, my character Martha is raised with plenty, but she suffers loss.  As a young adult she is trying to make a way in the world when the stock market crashes. The inheritance she thought she could fall back on is gone.

What I like about my character is she doesn’t lose hope and she never gives up.  When life does not go as expected, she still thinks there is a way or out or a way through.  She knows the ultimately God is in control.

Psalm 62:5-12King James Version (KJV)

⁵ My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

⁷ In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Of course, I hope people read my book and enjoy it. It’s meant to be light hearted entertainment with a message.
