About The Author

Retirement comes with the awesome responsibility of completing projects put on hold. I have in the past 15 years completed my BA in English and MA in Practical Theology. Most of my life I worked full time, raising our two sons, and enjoying the good life with my husband of 50 years. When we were first married, we lived in West Germany and later moved back to our hometown in Virginia. It is with great pleasure that I present this book to be read. There is something to learn about life in every book. It is my hope that this slice of fiction will inspire the reader to be changed in some way by the events written here.
