MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Gardenia Lane": a riveting tale that shows how the family maintains a close relationship with God to give them strength and guidance through whatever life has stored for them. "Gardenia Lane" is the creation of published author K.L. Smith, a person who worked her way through high school as a waitress in a family-type restaurant. She worked in a management position for the telephone company in several departments for thirty-one years. When not involved in writing, she enjoys the beauty of Lake Gaston and the company of her family.
Smith writes, "Gardenia Lane is a fictional novel that tells of the Lister family's day-to-day life when they move back to a small military town in eastern North Carolina. It is the fourth book in a series about the Lister family. Gardenia Lane continues the story where Gemmy's Dreams ends.
"The Lister family must make a life in a new neighborhood among unconventional neighbors. Most of them are poor. What they lack in money they make up for with rich personalities. They do not wrap themselves in layers of pretense and deceit.
"The Lister girls work hard and seek lives different than the one they were born into. They develop good friendships with their neighbors. They learn that their neighbors mostly have good hearts and, like themselves, want to get through life the best way possible.
"The story unfolds in 1956 and follows the family's life through 1967. To make ends meet Leo has to take on a second job to supplement his wages at the local furniture mill. With two full-time jobs, Leo is seldom home. Conflicts often occur when the family members are faced with the challenges that arise when dealing with the mental illness of the oldest Lister offspring."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, K.L Smith's new book is a fascinating read that exposes how the family deals with their life's conflicts especially when the mental illness of their oldest offspring arises.
This book shares a remarkable message to the readers to keep on having a close and strong relationship to God despite the uncertainties in life.
