My First Novel!
Find yourself in this faith based fictional drama/thriller, "A Circle of Love," which is the first novel in a series of stories that expose the issues in our lives that we do not care to discuss.
This series of books will introduce characters that we all know on a personal basis.; one of them may be someone that we see in the mirror every day. "A Circle of Love" gives us an inner vision and voice into heartfelt emotions concerning our issue with careers, communication, death, emotional instabilities, family matters, finances, habits, insecurities, mental conditions, rejection, relationships, trust and Spirituality.
In this first chronicle, you will be introduced to Helen along with a few other intimate issues that we face on a daily basis. Here you will find that it was Helen's INSECURITY that allowed a small thing as a bottle of perfume called "LOVE" to push her over the edge. Are you on the edge with an issue? What would it take to push YOU over the edge? Think about it. - Theola Bright
