Valerie

About the Book

Through a demoralizing divorce, hate crimes, her mother’s Alzheimer’s disease and being condemned by her daughter, Valerie kept her eyes on the future. She entered the university at the age of forty-four to study Comparative Religions and fell in love with Uriah Wexler, from Israel, her Professor in Christian Ethics. They set out to educate against hatred and misunderstanding amongst the three major monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This is Val’s story from devastation, to a career on the religious lecture circuit teaching tolerance and acceptance and finding the deep abiding love she thought would never be hers.

About the Author

As a violinist and vocalist, the focal point of my life was music until neuropathy robbed me of the ability to play. At a loss for how to fill the void I decided to go to my second love—writing. I’ve written speeches and essays most of my life, but never fiction. I published my first novella two years ago. This book is the rest of Valerie’s story—plus four short stories for your enjoyment.
