The Story Behind The Untold Story of the Darkest Days

In January 2019 I came across a flight sale to Europe. I didn’t have any particular place I wanted to go and decided that whatever city was cheapest when I went to order my ticket was the place I would go.

A city in Germany was cheapest before lunch, but by time I got approved for my week off, Switzerland dipped in price. So Zurich it was.

I had always wanted to go to Switzerland, but I have many places in my giant bucket list which should be called a small novel with the number of places I want to see. So, I usually don’t care where I go. I just usually go where the cheap flights lead.

If you are interested in my trip to Switzerland, I blogged about each city in October 2019 if you are interested.

Well, I started in Zurich and then traveled by train to Lucerne and then Lauterbrunnen and then Zermatt and then Chur and then finally back to Zurich in a weeklong journey.

Riding the train through the beautiful terrain of Switzerland was unbelievable. The quaint villages, hilly landscapes, the high peaks of the Alps. So many sights to see.

While my sister would fall asleep on the train, I would stare out the window and watch everything.

During the train ride from Zermatt to Chur, the longest train ride of the week, my mind started to wander. I started thinking of a story I had wanted to write for years but never knew how to write it.

I had been intrigued with the time period between the crucifixion and the resurrection for years. I had longed to know what the people were going through during these depressing days, but I could never find any answers.

Through the years of pondering these days I felt like I had come to know the heaviness the people endured during these days, but I didn’t know how to write the story. I wanted to show different viewpoints, but I didn’t know how to show it.

Suddenly, on a train in the middle of the Alps a heavenly moment occurred. It all became clear how to write the book I had wanted to write for years.

I got out my notepad and quickly scribbled the early rough draft. I still have it saved on my phone to remind me of the time when all the haze and confusion for years vanished and everything became clear.

In that moment it was like God showed me how to write this beloved book that I have cherished in my mind for years. And I am so excited to share it with you.

There are some books that authors say is their pinnacle. I still feel fairly young in my writing career, but if anyone reads any of my books, this is the book I hope they read.

Some test readers have praised the book and others have not. Not everyone will enjoy this deeply emotional book, but I hope they give it a try.

If you are interested you can pre purchase the book. Or contact your local library to purchase it. Or wait until someone else buys it and hates it and then they can give it to you.

All in all, I hope you give it a try.

Peace
