Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.</span></p>
Story Behind The Book
Life is full of twists and turns yet the perspective and posture that one has will determine victory or defeat. During a particularly difficult time in her life, the author's husband provided her with a truly meaningful gift - a Gratitude Journal.
Though she had been writing poetry since the age of nine, Dee Dee's writing had dropped off as does many passions do when the complications of life seem to get the best of us. This journal provided a conduit to channel deliverance. She vowed to journal whenever she felt defeated or depressed yet to only write about her blessed life - the joy that made her feel good and know that she had a purpose.
In the journal, she gave renewed voice to her poetry writing some of which were extracted for this book.
