I moved to Oklahoma in 1979. I guess at that time you might have
called me a typical Yankee insofar as I had absolutely no concept
of what it would be like to live among Oklahomans, affectionately
known as Okies. John Wayne movies and John Steinbeck were all I
knew about Oklahoma and here I was far from the New York City where
I grew up. I had never heard of religions that believed doctors
were servants of the devil until I met a beautiful young mother
with two equally beautiful daughters who had recently spent a week
in hell praying for Divine intervention, but watching their husband
and father die a painful, slow death from a burst appendix. This
story is fiction, but inspired by the appendix tragedy. Any
resemblance to real people is only coincidental. Harriet Josephine
Baron, a.k.a. Harri, watches her baby brother being born and cared
for by the women of the church and at thirteen years old she's not
prepared to witness the pain her mother is going through. Earlier
she had been arguing with her mother about wanting to cut her hair
when her mother went into labor and now she feels responsible for
bringing all this pain onto her mother. She had questioned God and
the rules her people insisted she follow, but her mother had always
been loving and kind when she insisted Harri do as she was told.
God's Will was not a good enough explanation any longer - Harri's
life changes forever when her mother dies. The story is about
courage and the events in your life that change who you are. Other
books by J.D.Becker: The Zookeeper - first in an adventure,
romance, mystery series whose protagonist is a 50 year old New
Yorker. To be published in May, 2014.
