edit data

Imber is Deborah Mistina’s award-winning debut novel. Deborah has a master’s degree in human development and lives with her husband under the starry skies of semirural Ohio. When an extended illness prematurely ended Deborah’s successful career as a learning consultant, she shifted her focus to writing a story that she had been itching to tell for years. Treating the abrupt change as an opportunity rather than a defeat, she channeled her characteristic energy and optimism into fulfilling a lifelong goal and crafting an engaging tale about finding the light in dark times.

Quotes by Deborah Mistina (?)

“And if a person here or there felt a pang of nostalgia for Mother Earth, they swallowed the feeling and buried it deep in their belly, beneath a heap of unasked questions.”
