About the Book
The Willow Tree is about a young girl, raised by
Christian parents, whose name is Bette Jean, but is called BJ. She lives in a
fictitious town called Bluesvilles, Tennessee. The story is narrated by her at
a very low point in her life. She goes to college in New York, obtains a well
paying job, marries well and life is very good. The past, however, comes back
with a vengeance, possibly changing her life forever. She learns many lessons
but the most important one is, no matter how high you go up in society, or how
low to the bottom you go, there is a Sovereign Lord who is a sure anchor, any
time or any place. Your parents can’t promise to be there for eternity. Your
friends may not be with you when you‘re crying in the midnight hour. Associates
may turn against you at a moments notice, but Our Sovereign Lord is always
there.

I enjoy encouraging children and adults to follow
their dreams. We as adults are bombarded with the rushes of life. Our dreams
are placed on a dark shelf in the corners of our mind. Those dreams appear to
be dark clouds, unreachable. Never give up. You may tire out but never give up.
