A Message of Hope
Have you ever had so many bad things pile on your life you can't help throwing up your hands and asking, "Why me?" You hear that good things can come out of bad situations, but it's nearly impossible to believe it when you're up to your eyeballs in misery, trouble, or heartbreak. The spirit of hope is a theme in the prequel The Dream Horse and I want readers to come away believing that miracles can happen-- but they might not appear according to your time frame. I've never found a satisfactory answer to that impossible question of why bad things happen to good people, but I like to think things can change, things can improve, situations get resolved, trouble passes, and heartbreak fades. If you keep hope alive.
Book Excerpt
Dream Horse
Dear God,
First off, let’s get this straight. I don’t believe in you.
I’m writing this because today has been the worst day ever and I hear people say when God shuts a door, he opens a window somewhere else. Well, you’ve slammed all the doors in my face today and I’m ready to crawl out a window. Out onto a ledge, maybe.
So, if I did believe in you, God, I would ask you this question: if you are everywhere and all powerful, why is it you just stand around and let crappy things happen? My friend who believes in you says you're everywhere all the time but I’m pretty much convinced you’ve lost my address. She also says that you make even the bad things come out okay in the end--double for your trouble she calls it. Well, God, here’s what I’m asking: make something, anything, good come out of this. I dare you.
