Christian Author's First Novel Resonates the Power of Forgiveness

JUST PAST OYSTERVILLE is one impressive work...it brings to mind the efforts Jesus used in telling the people about God's Truth. He spoke to them in parables. Today, He just might tell them a story of forgiveness quite similar to JUST PAST OYSTERVILLE." Wendall Paul Sexton, Round Table Reviews

Woodburn, OR (PRWEB) March 17, 2004 -- Christian author's first novel resonates the power of forgiveness:

A child abandoned
A life destroyed
Two hearts, unable to forgive...

When a drunk driver leaves Cassie Belanger an orphan, a cryptic letter, found among her mother's belongings sends her on a journey across the country in hopes of finding the man who fathered her but chose not to be her father.

Driven by her anger, her bitterness and her desire to confront the man who abandoned her, Cassie meets Jack, a crusty old bachelor headed in the same direction. In his face Cassie begins to see what can happen to a heart that refuses to forgive.

Will she forgive her father, or turn away from him and remain an orphan? Who is Jack, and how is his own shadowed past linked to her own? Will Cassie Belanger find the power that lies in forgiveness and the miracle of God's unwavering desire for our salvation?

The answers lie... Just Past Oysterville.
