Book Description
The word Kaleidoscope derives from the Greek word (kalos), which means beautiful. As a child I loved kaleidoscopes. Each time you turn the tube the beads of glass would form different shapes and patterns, one more beautiful than the other. Writing this book, it reminded me of how life is. Take Ms. Ellie, who reaches out to help a young widow, not knowing the depth of pain this family faces. Ms. Ellie must face even her own dark secret. "Harold Winslow" begins with a car crash, the same day his mom and sister dies, but then there is the remarkable witness. In "The Visitor" Mildred Stark is a lonely widow with a son she never sees. Her life is interrupted by two strangers and a baby, unfolding the feelings she had long buried. "Crossing Over": When a man's wife-whom you killed-keeps visiting you, how do you take this second chance, when crime is all you've known? "Remy": Remy's man won her in a card game. What happens when you get sick of being abused? Where do you run to? Each story has its own twist and turn. As you read each story let the words take shape...
