About the Book

Dorothy was raised by a strict religious mother and knew the Bible very well. She became a declared atheist but sent her children to church so that they could make their own decisions about religion. This short story is her way of telling the Bible stories. Since this is a short story, perhaps there won’t be a place for that, but I hope there will be.
