Florence's Journey: Proving Something

By Victor Hess

Description:

Nine-year-old Florence Williams’ parents are sitting behind bars for a crime they do not remember committing. When they are sentenced to prison, she is left with nowhere to belong.

For four years after their arrest, Florence moves from house to house, getting shelter but missing a loving home. Her grandparents don’t want her. She even runs away to find her aunt, but she is found and returned to the Children’s Protective system.

Finally, her Aunt Audrey is old enough to take her in and Florence, now thirteen, joins a special group of kids who call themselves The Wesley Club; full of boys and girls, each with their own unique ability. Soon The Wesley Club joins in her mission to exonerate her mom and dad.

Are her parents innocent after all? What will the Wesley Club find out about Florence’s parents and the evidence that put them in prison? Dive into the first adventure of The Wesley Club, where the kids are brave, smart, and work hard to protect one another.

Book Takeaway:

Adults and kids team up to uncover the truth. There is a spirit of mutual respect and trust. Most of all there is strong reliance on what the church teaches.

Why the author wrote this book:

I believe that kids are resilient and given enough good reason can withstand a great deal. After writing three coming-of-age books this books starts my journey to writing for those tween kids. It blends faith with mysteries solved by kids.
