Pamela Hayes

About

Pamela Joyce Hayes is a Harlem native, born and raised there.  She is the oldest out of three children born to John and Viola Hayes.  Pamela was a devoted wife for fourteen years, and has two beautiful sons.

Pamela has been writing since she was nine years old.  She had a love for creating stories on paper and she always dreamed of becoming an author. 

Pamela decided to put her story on paper when her now ex-husband was arrested in February 2003.  This turned her family upside down.  Pamela and her family were devastated.  Her family did not know what to do and the prison system does not come with instructions.  Pamela lost everything.     Her and her family was hit with the harsh reality of life when one of your family members goes to prison.  This story just shows how it is a struggle for the family to have to deal with prison life.

In the book I used different fonts so the reader can tell which character is speaking.  I did this because I know when I sometimes read books I can't tell which character is speaking at that time. To me that is very confusing. I wanted my readers to know which character is speaking.  Also I believe the different fonts tell something about the characters.  The font gives the characters more  personality.

Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>

Pamela J Hayes is an amazing new author. This book is raw, romantic, funny, and an adventure. I read this story in one reading and passed it on. This book gives you a different angle about the prison system and the people that go to prison. I guess I never had to really think about people who go to jail but after reading this book it made me realize that these people are human and they have families that this effects in a way that is unreal. I felt the main character's pain, her hurt, her sorrow and her struggle. This is an excellent read and it gives you insight to a world that is really not to open to everyday people who live normal life. The book has a great twist that has you wanting more. I don't know about anyone else but I can't wait for book two to come to the book stores I will be first on line to purchase the book and find out what happened to the characters that I have become friends with and want to know where they are now in the new story.<br /></p> <h3>AMAZING!!!!</h3> <h4><img border="0" alt="" src="http://images.barnesandnoble.com/presources/community/images/cust5.gif" /> Reader Rating <a style="margin-left:10px;" class="reviewOverlay dropdownIcon byReviewID" href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Family-Tyme-DonT-Get-Caught-Up/Pamela-J-Hayes/e/9781440137297/?itm=1&amp;USRI=family+tyme+don%27t+get+caught+up#"><font color="#5a7d56">See Detailed Ratings</font></a></h4> <p>Posted November 18, 2009, 7:47 PM EST: THIS BOOK WAS SUCH A GOOD READ.

Family Tyme is a fiction book that allows the reader to experience the impact on a family when a loved one goes to prison. The characters are so real; I became so involved in Family Tyme, that I became each character as I read. The story takes different turns as it focuses on the many different phases that a loved one goes through as she/he tries to accept the new life that has been inherited. I recommend this book to anyone who has an individual in their life that they care about...Family Tyme can become your time!!!!!!!!!Don't Get Caught Up!!!!!!!<br /></p></div></div></div>
