Free Book

Free today January 17th--"My Name is Rebecca: A Novelette." I initially had the idea to write this (historical fiction) novelette as a tribute to my mother's family who came from Russia in the early 1900s. As I wrote, it evolved into a tribute to all who have come, and are coming, to America for a better life. A quick read, the story details life in Russia, the voyage to America, the ordeal suffered at Ellis Island, the Lower East End of New York, and life in America. As an added note, the photo on the front is of my mother, taken in 1931 when she was four years old. (This book is appropriate for all ages.) Please share with your friends.

Reviews

I want to thank those who take the time to leave a review of my books. I appreciate the fact that you do and your honesty.

I would like to comment on a few things. My books are edited professionally and proofread by several people. I know mistakes happen--as we all know, when books are published professionally, we find errors as far as grammar, punctuation and perhaps a name that shouldn't be there. But it happens because there is no such thing as perfection in this world. When you find this in my books, please accept my apology. My goal in writing is to present a story that is inspirational and memorable--and with a message. Hopefully that is being passed on to my readers.
