Stopping by the Side of the Road: A Tale of Dying
This is a poignant tale of a special encounter that touches the heart and brings peace to the process of dying. Created from the heart by Jody Whelden, Unitarian Universalist minister, whose mission it is to create peace within and with others, Stopping by the Side of the Road gently offers comfort and peace to those experiencing death their own or that of loved ones. A thoughtful gift and compelling narrative. Beautifully illustrated by Ann Thomas.
Fiction Young Adult Book Coming Next Year –
Fiction – Coming of Age Novel set on NH Seacoast As sunset begins, a lone person rides the ocean waves in a small-motorized boat. At sixteen, Emma finds refuge from her manipulative mother by taking to the sea. However, a surprise storm overtakes her and she must fight for her life. Somehow, she gets to shore. This baffling survival awakens Emma to a mysterious source of inner strength. Even though she is astonished by the experience, Emma reverts to old habits of denial and dismisses what happened as a fluke. But, the door to her inner gifts has been opened. Try as she might to ignore the experiences, unusual insights emerge in event after event. Emma’s denial leads to worse and worse consequences. New and old friends help Emma face her inner demons and stunning family secrets. But, she alone can claim her gifts to unwrap the dilemmas of her life. Issues of diversity, racial equality and evolutionary spiritual shifts in humanity are the backdrop for this 21st Century coming-of-age story.
