Recently I received some copies of my latest novel, PROVIDENCE.
I have to admit, I don’t get as excited about these boxes as I used to, because
my health has forced me to slow down about promoting books. Some authors
despise all aspects of promoting their work, but I especially enjoyed sharing about
the writing process face-to-face, and recalling those times still makes me smile.o
However, it’s still a joy to hold a fresh-off-the-press story that I labored over for
so long–especially this one, since it took longer than any other I’ve ever tackled.
Why? I’m not sure. Maybe I needed to arrive at this age…note wrinkles in photo below…
to have developed a deeper understanding of how essential PROVIDENCE is in
any of our undertakings.
Or perhaps it’s because to accept what life hands us requires trust, and mine has
taken quite a while to grow. Bottom-line, part of trusting is NOT demanding to understand.
So if you or a friend loves Westerns (not WWII this time), this set-in-the-Civil-War-era
tale might make a good Christmas gift. The heroine learns an incredible amount about
herself, her presumptions, her tough-as-nails surroundings, and the astoundingly faithful grace
of what her generation refers to as “Providence.” There’ll be lots of joys in looking back for her
as she ages!
I’m excited for you, Gail!!!! It’s a great book, and the fact it’s outside your usual era is a testament of your research and writing talent. Have a great day!
Thanks for the review & compliment, Peggy. Hang in there w/your HELENE challenges!
