The Rope Swing

About the Book

Serina is nine years old. Her family is very poor. She has no toys, so she spends most of her time daydreaming. Every day, Serina watches the other children in the neighborhood play. And every day, she longs for toys like theirs. One day her father brings home a boat rope and her brothers make a swing out of it. The rope swing changes everything.

About the Author

Avid climber of trees and rooftops, Serina Horton was born in Athens, Alabama on March 17, 1970. She loves English and Literature and always knew someday she would be a writer. In High School, she would sit in class and re-write old TV shows. The idea for The Rope Swing came from real life events of her childhood. Thanks to Xlibris, Serina was given the opportunity to recreate those memories in vivid color. And now, the next generation will be able to share those recollections.
