Description

Religious fiction: Dennell Richards, who was orphaned young and partly reared by her grandparents and partly by her mother's friend, inherits from her grandfather, and later from an uncle who she didn't know existed. She isn't sure that she wants the inheritances because of her religious beliefs. Also, the boy she thought of as a brother as they grew to adulthood together, now wants to marry her. There are many trials, conflicts and adventures during the two years that she has to qualify for her uncle's inheritance. Her faith in God, her family and her friends are tested and she makes many changes in her life. Does she keep the inheritances, does she give them away to charity, or does she not qualify for them? Does she marry the man that she grew to adulthood with and thought of as her brother? Does her faith stay strong during these trials? How does she cope when she is kidnapped and her life is in danger? Does her seem-like brother who wants to be her husband help her during these difficult times or does he make life more complicated for her? When Dennell has a car accident and is injured, does her family or rather her adopted family step up to help her? How far is she willing to go and what is she willing to do to meet the weird stipulations of the will of her uncle and qualify for the inheritance? How important is becoming very wealthy to her - is it important enough to jeopardize her religious faith? Dennell has many problems to solve in her life that most people only wish that they had. She learns that wealth can be a good thing but also, it can be very troublesome.

About the author

I am a retired teacher, 78 years old, and this is the second book I have attempted. I live alone so writing it filled in some lonely hours for me and gave me a new interest. I live in Colorado and have for 56 years. I taught general business subjects in middle school and high school, music education in all 12 grades, English in grades seven through college, and substituted in all grades. I have three grown children, six grandchildren and one great granddaughter. I have always enjoyed reading and writing and wrote our family history and my own autobiography. I am a Christian and especially enjoy religious fiction. Writing and getting a book published is an item on my bucket list. I cared for my mother for 17 years In my home until she passed away a year ago. Writing the book helped me to adjust to a new life style and deal with the grief.
