A new book is on its way. “Soar Above the Yesterdays” is a sequel to “All Things”. The rough draft is complete and in the hands of a first reader. The next step will be an editor, and then the difficult task of re-working the story into a book we can all enjoy. Hopefully, it will be in print by the end of 2009 or before.
“Soar Above the Yesterdays” is the continuing story of Susanna Elder, her twins, and her friends and family. Whereas “All Things” is a story about the dilemma of unanticipated pregnancy, “Soar Above the Yesterdays” works through the problems following a young woman who has normal feelings, wants a normal life of romance, career, and hope for the future. Although the concept of “secondary virginity” is the primary focus of the book, a bit of mystery combined with romance and career decisions carry the focus to its logical conclusion.
Many of the same characters carry Susanna’s story through 1956, both in Grassy Branch and Kenbridge. Carly Rose, Duncan, Grandpa, Aunt Sarah, Jim Bob and many others play important roles in her life. You will meet many new faces, as well.
I’m looking forward to sharing with you the conclusion to Susanna’s story.
