Quiet DeceptionBy Ann Gaylia O'BarrDescription:
Todd Edwards, the much-loved son of a minister, and Byron White, who suffered from an abusive father, grew up together under the tutelage of Todd's father in the changing culture following the Second World War. Book Takeaway:The way we react to hurts, those inflicted both by life and by others, determine our character and can have repercussions far beyond our imaginings. Why the author wrote this book:I wanted to find out what happened to Kim, the young heroine of my first book, FIRST LIGHT. I wanted to see how she managed the conflicts between her Christian upbringing and the more permissive culture around her as she entered adulthood. Along the way, I fell in love with her conflicted professor, Todd Edwards and had to find out what made him the way he was. Also, of course, Byron---was he victim or perpetrator? |
