Ireland 1986. A teenage girl begins a series of conversations with a statue of the Virgin Mary in a grotto. Inspired by a true story, Mary and Me is a compellingly original imagining of a young woman's search for understanding and meaning at a milestone in her life, and a rich and funny evocation of the Ireland of the 1980's.

Prayer, The Power Beyond Belief, is a book written to inspire and uplift the human spirit, of all people: Christians, non-Christian, young and old and those in-between. It is a source book. Something a reader may carry into everyday life and refer to, to bring a smile on a not so great day, or uplift a heavy heart in times of stress. Or, it may be used as a Clarion call to remind us of the beauty of life; within and without. And, at all times, this book reminds us that the glass may be viewed as half full or half empty; depending on the way we perceive the grandeur of the universe, the wonders of the soul, and the precious breath of life; which energizes us from the beginning of life to the end. In short, it is a highly charged battery cable for the soul, designed to jump start the reader's faith in the power -- beyond belief.
