Remembering the Past to Live in the Present Author Describes Womans Harrowing Past through Flashbacks
Have you ever had a dream that you wanted to reach? Have you ever taken the time to explore what your options would be to achieve your dream? Well my dream was to write a best seller. I believe given a chance, Yesterday, Today and then Tomorrow could be the best seller for 2005.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) February 4, 2005 -- The heroine of B.J. Woods new novel, Yesterday, Today and Then Tomorrow (now available through AuthorHouse, Amazon.com, and Barnes&Noble.com ISBN # 1418428647), hurries home from work to escape the songs and news reports blaring from the radio that have triggered memories from her event-filled past. Throughout the book, readers will relive the protagonists journey to acceptance.
Memories from the past intertwine with the present in this unique novel. Almost wholly constituted by flashbacks, readers get to know Beth and her arduous history. As a young black woman, Beth grew up in the early 1970s in a small Southern town. She is attacked and nearly raped, which prompts her devoted single mother to send her out of the South and away from violence and drugs. Beth leaves to live with a strict uncle in Texas and encounters other dangerous situations along the way.
Over the years, Beth learns that life is full of challenges but vows never to stop taking chances. She places her trust in friends and confesses a secret to her husband that could shatter their marriage. Beth also takes a substantial risk in starting her own business from her kitchen. Her courageous outlook on life helps her through the death of a loved one and propels her to achieve the goals she sets her mind to. In looking back on her life, she also realizes the importance of her familys support.
As she reminisces, Beth attempts to rush home in time to attend an award ceremony with her family. Her husband is being honored at the luxurious Plaza building, and when she arrives, her memories and the lessons she has learned come full circle. Beth, at the end of her trip through time, finally recognizes her purpose in life.
Told through the eyes of a strong woman with a hopeful perspective, Yesterday, Today and Then Tomorrow is a story about being human. It illustrates the power of learning from mistakes, facing the truth and accepting the love of family and friends.
Woods currently lives in California and works for a large consulting firm. After graduating from high school, she enlisted in the U.S. Navy and traveled the world during her 21 years of service. She and her husband have three children and one grandson. Yesterday, Today and Then Tomorrow is her first book. For more information, readers can go to www.yesterdaybybjw.com
