A man’s eyes are the windows to his soul … if he has one.
Deep in the darkness of a Depression-era night, a man addicted to alcohol commits an unspeakable crime to obtain it. His vile action impacts the lives of two entire families, and decades will pass before the horrible wrong begins to be made right again.
Two young women – strangers to each other – unknowingly enmeshed in a Pandora’s Box of secrets that could prevent them from finding happiness with the men they love. Two adoring mothers who know more than they are willing to say. A newsman with a story he cannot tell.
What is their connection, and who is the golden-eyed stranger who moves in the shadows of their broken lives?
The Story Behind This Book
Goldeneyes is the book of my heart, perhaps because it is set partially in Weedpatch, CA, where I was born and raised. I so wanted to write this story...but I hadn't much more than gotten started when I hit a MAJOR wall of writer's block. Looking back, I believe Weedpatch was so real to me that I was having a hard time fictionalizing it...or maybe God had other plans as far as timing. Either way, I laid it aside to enter the 2005 Nanowrimo event, and when I picked it back up, God gave me the go-ahead and the inspiration to finish the book. I like the finished product, and I think you will too! :)
