When it is determined a year later that their parents did not die in an accident, the reader accompanies the siblings as they each struggle with the fact that their parents were murdered. “The Primrose Garden” is about family, loss, substance abuse, suicide prevention, and love.

Donations in December

For each book that I sell during the month of December, I’ll donate $2.00 to St. Jude Research Hospital. It is a wonderful organization that does so much for children and families–you can do your part by buying a book. Along with feeling good about making a donation, you’ll have a “great” book to read, too.

Books

When I retired as a school social worker four and a half years ago, I took some on-line writing classes with the University of Wisconsin. I decided that with my clinical background, I’d write stories of hope and inspiration, along with providing a good story for my readers. My first novelette, “Envelopes of Hope,” was inspired by a family member who had struggled for years with a drug problem. Finally entering rehab, she wrote a letter thanking me for not giving up on her. The story is about a young girl who, with the support of her family, finds her way out of the darkness of the world she had fallen victim to. The story is meant to give hope and inspiration to those who have substance abuse issues and to their families who support them.
“When Shadows Linger” and “The Primrose Garden” (the sequel) are both full-length novels. The main characters are social worker/therapists who deal with family issues, substance abuse, suicide, depression, and other mental health concerns.
“My Name is Rebecca: A Novelette” (historical fiction) is a story dedicated to all who have come, and are still coming, to America for a better life. It is a story of hope, family, and culture.
Aa a special offer until November 25, I’ll gift you one of my e-books (your choice) when you buy either an e-book or paperback. Just send me an email (mirikal1210@gmail.com) letting me know that you bought one, and which one you’d like as a gift—and I’ll gift it to you right away. Please put "free book” in the subject line.
