I loved writing stories when I was in middle school and did well in English language. In Grade 7, I wrote a short story and gave a copy to my best friend. She sent me the copy twenty plus years later which reminded me that I really enjoyed writing. In previous years, I have written poems for special occasions for family and friends. I am told I am a great story teller and I often made up stories to tell my children when we were travelling. This is my first book and truly is “God’s book”. God inspired me to write this story after my husband flat-lined during surgery. Thankfully my husband recovered. I am now open to whatever direction God leads me going forward.
