New Book
Every time I hear the name Penelope, I think of my niece, Christy. She worked in a doctor’s office and had to call out the patient’s names when it was their turn to see the doctor. She said the name Penelope incorrectly and was so embarrassed. The worse thing about it though, was that she told her Aunts about her blunder! We get tickled every time we think about her shouting out, “pen a lope, the doctor will see you now.” LOL Maybe you would have had to have been there.
Penelope J. Stokes has written many books. I received her book, The Treasure Box, for Christmas. It sounds like a good one. The description says:
The beautiful, painted-tin box in the antique store looks like just the thing for tasteful, practical storage-and tasteful and practical are key words for Vita Kirk. So is routine-the comfortable routine of her job as a travel writer. So is safety-the emotional safety of her carefully planned, carefully controlled, intentionally solitary life.
But then lightning strikes. Vita’s dependable computer begins to act strangely. That beautiful-but-practical painted-tin box takes on a mysterious life of its own. And vita Kirk’s safe, predictable life begins to change.
Is she losing her mind…or is she finding herself for the first time?
I cannot wait to read this book! Thanks for the great gift, Gregory.
