A
mother’s heartfelt memoir outlines a nine-month saga that plays out in a
Lutheran church beginning with a shocking confrontation and leading to an
emotionally shattering chain of events that forever alters the course of her
ten-year-old son’s life.
What
begins as a mother’s promise to speak the truth on behalf of her child, evolves
into a catharsis, and ultimately, forgiveness, as the author painstakingly
chronicles her introspective journey.
After
a sudden verbal attack from another parishioner, she tries to reopen the lines
of communication with the aid of their Pastor and broker a resolution.
Instead,
her Pastor speaks in riddles, dark insinuations are made, and no one will
answer her questions. People she thought
she knew for years, suddenly didn’t seem to know her at all.
She
needed her church family: her husband
was battling cancer, and she was dealing with some unanswered symptoms of her
own.
Fatigued,
frustrated and desperate to prove her son’s innocence, she ultimately
victimized both of them with her own pride until the Lord found an unmistakable
way to signal her to open her eyes and run!

Changes
For anyone who decides to buy the book,
there is some information on the bio portion on the back that is no longer
relevant: I no longer write for divinecaroline.com,
Master Chef Junior has been added to the list of Chef Gordon Ramsay shows I’ve
covered, and my email address is no longer at yahoo.com. (I kept the change fairly simple – the book
has me listed at moonlightscribe@yahoo.com.)
Updates
Prior to my recent illness, I was
posting a new article to my blog site every Monday, which I am hoping to get
back to in the very near future. While I
am fairly certain my new specialist & I are on the right track & the
worst of my symptoms have improved, I have a procedure scheduled next week that
may take a toll on me for a few days. So
I haven’t made any firm announcements yet regarding those.
In the interim, however, I will be
updating the ‘Worthy Causes’ section of my blog over the course of the next few
days. I will send you the direct links
as the posts go up.
