Story Behind The Book

The inspiration for this book came from playing the Sims. Really! The interesting characters and twisted inter-relationships soon mushroomed into the idea for this book!

Apex Reviews - <strong>Reviewed By Kenya Dow</strong><strong><br />Official Apex Reviews Rating: 5 stars</strong><br /><br /><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:Garamond, serif;"><span></span>An accomplished, proud mother of five, 44-year-old Joleen Allen has set her sights on true love; unfortunately, every time a promising prospect comes into the picture – he bypasses her for one of her daughters. To make matters worse, her ex-husband – fresh from a stint in prison – soon makes it his mission not only to ruin Joleen’s good name, but her life as well. An eclectic, conflicting mix of personalities themselves, Joleen’s daughters don’t do much to alleviate the stress in her life – especially when their actions lead to the exposure of some of the family’s deepest, darkest secrets. With her familial bonds quickly falling apart at the seams, can Joleen summon the strength to hold it all together...?</span></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:Garamond, serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:Garamond, serif;"><span>            </span><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">My Mother The Man-Eater</span></strong> is a surprisingly powerful tale. Skillfully mixing dramatic suspense, tender romance, and tantalizing shots of wicked humor, author Tracy Krauss paints the compelling portrait of a desperate soul in search of fleshly solutions to spiritual problems. Chronicling Joleen’s tempestuous relationships with everyone from her daughters to her would-be suitors to her murderous ex-husband, Krauss presents the reader with a flawed, yet valiant protagonist you can’t help cheering for. Throughout it all, readers are sure to relate to Joleen’s complicated search for love and redemption as one they’ve either taken or will take soon, reminding them that – though the journey may be rough – the glory of finally reaching the destination makes the obstacles along the way more than worthwhile. A thoroughly entertaining, highly rewarding read.</span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><br /><span style="font-family:Garamond, serif;"></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:Garamond, serif;">Indie Excellence Book Award Finalist for religious fiction 2011<br /></span></p>
