The Brass Cane

About the Book

Your life can change in a heartbeat, the blink of an eye. Great losses, great gains, all without plan or design. How could you guess that a chance accident in the park could change so many lives forever? The death of one elderly man had the ripple effect to profoundly impact the community in which a widow, Mary, and her young family live. Mourning the death of her murdered husband, Mary struggles to provide for her rapidly growing children. Son Allen, with high hopes of being a major league pitcher, found his dream dashed in an instant. Be part of this family as they experience the triumphs and tragedies of life and discover that dreams can, in fact, come true.

About the Author

Lori Ocker was born and raised in southern California. She raised her first child, son Greg, in California, but felt she arrived home when she moved her family to Washington. Although Greg was put in public school, she has homeschooled her two daughters, Bekah and Catie, since they were of school age and plans to do so through high school. She was inspired to write The Brass Cane after a conversation driving home from her parents’ house in California, shortly after her daughter’s births. Today, she works as an in-house paralegal in Seattle but fancies the idea of writing more books in the future. Over the years, she has written many stories, mostly unpublished, for the entertainment of her children. Her published work, The Adventures of Rolo, can be purchased online. Lori enjoys reading and writing as well as cooking and baking for her family.
