FOREST, Miss., March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Being the optimist that she is, Patricia Sims believes in romance and in positive outcomes regardless of the difficulties a person may encounter. This, partnered with her overactive imagination and passion for writing, became her fuel to create her first published book, "A Major Hurdle" (published by AuthorHouse).
Sims' book is a thriller-romance fiction that introduces readers to Catherine Adams, a mother of three who has struggled with grief and is given a second chance at love. She meets new love through the character of Philip Cagney, but is hurdled by doubt and fear after the negative, unfortunate occurrences the day after meeting him. Catherine and Philip are faced with mysterious circumstances that threaten to destroy them.
How will God — and their faith upon him — help them withstand and overcome their trials? Will Catherine be able to accept and enjoy this second chance at love? For more details on the book, please visit https://www.authorhouse.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/808178-a-major-hurdle.
"The book is a roller coaster of emotions that will touch your heart and remind all of us that love finds a way," Sims describes. "[It is] a must read for anyone who has lost faith in love and maybe have lost faith in God." Through "A Major Hurdle," she hopes to remind readers that God's love is more powerful than anything and that faith can help them overcome their struggles and trials in life.
A passage in the book reads:
Two days after returning home, she received a letter from Philip. Nervously, she tore open the envelope and with a little cry of anguish, dropped it to the floor. It was over. The very thing she had feared had finally happened. She had blown all chances with him because she was too stupid to recognize a good thing, too mixed up in the head to reach for this one last chance she had been offered. Now it was over and her life felt like it was also over.
