Ellen
and The Hummingtree
is a fictional, magical and mystical account of the memoirs of Ellen
Dawson. The book explores many social
issues including child abandonment; deadbeat dads; separation & divorce;
single parenting; financial struggle; family relationships; infidelity;
grandparents raising children; love on line; empty-nesters; aging; women’s
issues; Alzheimer’s; death and dying.
Ellen’s story is contemporary.
She is a composite of many beautiful, spiritual women I have
known.
Ellen
shares her journey and in the process always finds the hope, support and
encouragement she needs when she prays to her God in the yellow quartz rock
beneath the Hummingtree.
At
the outset of this writing journey I met Ellen.
I became acquainted with her and now, after knowing her for more than a
year, I can say that I truly like her.
She has the courage of her convictions and no matter what life threw at
her, Ellen never lost faith.
This
book is a collaboration with my daughter, artist, Susan Krupp who not only
created the beautiful cover design but also all the illustrations throughout the
book.
The
book launch of Ellen and The Hummingtree is happening Saturday, November 10,
2012, 1 pm to 3 pm, at the Gallery at the Centre; Civic Centre, Elliot
Lake.
Susan
and I are going to hone up on our acting skills as we will be re-enacting a
chapter from Ellen and The Hummingtree; one which we hope will be
entertaining. Afterward the book signing
will take place.
Hope
to see you there.
