Book excerpt: What happens when two people who have just experienced devastating, heart breaking losses encounter each other on a lonely stretch of beach at the edge of the world? They both deal with disappointment differently and while Adam tries to end it all by swimming out beyond the reef, Christa is looking for a new start and providentially saves him from drowning. The two baby boomers spend the night on the beach reflecting upon life . . . The Big "L" . . . their similar childhood experiences and the idea that there might be a purpose in every life. This encounter teaches both of them that first impressions are usually inaccurate and that things are never as they seem and the reality of who they each are grows brighter with the dawn of a new day. The fabric of their lives has been sewn together by the hands of Christa's loving nanny, Abbie, who spent her life guiding Christa on the path of success, integrity and perseverance. She is responsible for Christa's fashion business and her climb to greatness as Christa watched her scale and conquer her own Everest of oppression and discrimination As the evening progresses, we see the tapestry that was woven years ago by Abbie, come into sharper focus. She arranged for Adam to see Christa's designs, which resulted in his investing in her over 20 years before this evening. If he had not believed in Christa years ago, she would not be here now, saving his life, which ironically ends up saving hers in the end. And none of these lives would have been impacted had a loving nanny not sacrificially given her life for a little girl who she loved and believed in. By overcoming the personal obstacles that the Big "L" threw at her, Abbie was able to help Christa scale the mountains of discrimination as a woman breaking into a man's world. She gave her the courage to end up saving one, only to discover that men are not necessarily stronger than women, and face the same obstacles and challenges in life. We discover that the hands that rocked the cradles in a segregated country, imparted dignity, mercy and inspiration to untold numbers on their travels through The Big "L" . . . life.

Book excerpt: A love story with a difference based on two events that actually took place in different parts of the world. We begin with a flashback – a tourist talks to an ailing doctor about a nearby village. Fade to a young boy soldier, Peter, travelling to join his unit in France. He is German and the war is still going on. In his naivety he doesn’t yet know the nature of the work done by his future comrades. The unit is briefed by the boss - they are to lay low in a small village awaiting a possible push by the enemy. Peter meets one of the local girls and falls in love. He is chastised for getting involved by one of his colleagues. All goes well until the local mayor holds a dance to welcome the guests and some of the soldiers get out of hand and commit a drunken rape on a deaf and dumb waitress. She exacts her revenge by killing one of the officers. On the discovery of the body, the senior German officer calls all the villagers together in the church and threatens them that they must produce the offender but all enquiries are without success. Peter slowly begins to realise the nature of the unit’s duties. The senior officer decides that the offender has probably made his/her confession to the elderly priest and tries to persuade him to give up the secrets of the confessional but to no avail. When all else fails he allows one of his keener officers to sort out the priest who takes him from his prayers and performs a modern-day crucifixion. The priest hangs, barely alive, on his own cross, guarded by some of the soldiers. That night they fall asleep and the waitress climbs a ladder to give him food. In the morning the ladder is discovered and the soldiers reprimanded. The senior officer then has an idea - in order to loosen the tongues of the villagers he decides to bring about an enforced famine and instructs his staff to remove all the sources of food in the village. However things begin to go wrong, the fabric of society breaks down and in their hunger the villagers revert to their animal state. The final source of food is the wafers being used by the nuns in the Holy Communion and when the senior officer tries to stop this, the Mother Superior refuses and risks being shot. The senior officer is afraid that there’ll be trouble when headquarters find out but the keen officer whispers that they don’t have to find out if there are no witnesses. The starving villagers, including Peter’s girlfriend, are finally herded into the church and the hanging priest is given one final chance to divulge the offender. He refuses and boy soldier has a terrible choice – to kill or be killed. He tearfully chooses the latter. We come back to the present and the tourist learns that only one person survived the massacre so assumes that this must be the story-teller. He is surprised when the latter tells him that his name is “Peter” and that he was actually the one holding the gun.
