Description
<p>A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.</p><p>An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.</p><p>Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.</p><p>The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.</p>
Story Behind The Book
The concept of this book was birthed back when I was writing "Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey". I kept coming across various passages of Scripture where God would talk about adorning His Bride. I finally decided to delve into these passages, and this book is the result.
Reviews
<p>Lyn Parker - November 19/13</p>
<p>Your book is so thorough! The content is rich and complex. I love how you integrate the history and tradition with What does this mean for the bride of Christ. You do a great job of showing the old customs and characteristics and making a direct correlation with how that applies to us as Christians today.</p>
