Publisher's Synopsis
From fairy tales to westerns, to modern day stories, this collection of short stories is designed to catch the interest of adults who simply want to read a story, but may not have the time required to read full-length novels. The author has included short prayers at the end of each story, prayers inspired by the stories themselves. These prayers are her heart, welcoming you the reader to join her in her conversations with God. The first story is not a fairy tale, but how the author imagined it must have been like for Adam the first time he opened his eyes. Everything was wonderful. But after he sinned, part two of Consequences begins, which is a Western concerning one of Adam's descendants who must deal with the reality of sin. Another Western entitled: Boiling Springs is the account of the tale from each of the characters' eyes, showing unique perspectives. Only when all the perspectives are put together is the reader enabled to see what happened in the Western towns of Boiling Springs and Deadeye. And then there is the retelling of some old classic fairy tales, but with a twist. For example, Sleeping Beauty is anything but beautiful-on the outside. But on the inside, she is a rare gem.
