Annie's life changed forever the day the hand-some Edward Barns knocked on her door. Hard work on their small farm in Kentucky, and trying to make ends meet had taken its toil on her marriage to Tom Flowers.

In her wildest dream, Annie never thought someone would come along where she would have to choose between the man she married or the man she loved.

Would love be enough to calm the storms of life that will follow if she follows her heart?

The beautiful girl watched the old man sleeping, and for the first time in a long while pity washed over her. In fact she couldn't remember the last time she had felt any kind of emotion, for her heart had become hardened so as not to feel the pain that caring could bring. Her remorse was like a broken mirror that couldn't be put back together.

Memories of the last few years working for Flo's escorting service filled her mind, threatening her with another sleepless night, but sleep would come for tomorrow she would be leaving that part of her life behind, going back to being the good girl she was before leaving Kentucky.

"A Field Where Memories Grow, " is a collection of short stories in poetic form of my journeys through the seasons of life and the roads we all travel. I have written about world events, romance and spiritual experiences as well as the highs and lows we encounter in life. Also included are the fairy tales that I have always loved to write.

Our journeys through life reminds me of the changing seasons and much of my writing is comparing nature with the human stages of life.

"From one small seed a tree will grow tall and from its roots a forest will come to be. As does one seed from man when planted will flourish; thus grows a family tree."
