Following a trip to the book store and discovering Louis L’Amour, she grew to love reading one sentence at a time. Life was not easy for Laurie’s family when her brother returned from Vietnam following a psychotic break, eventually, schizophrenia. Through a series of tragic events, and with God’s help, she healed and grew to love her brother. Redemption flourished. Attending The Community of Writers Workshop gave her the courage to complete this novel.
