Frankie: A Metaphysical Mystery
For imperfect women, death is not perfected
Mother Magdalene has died, but her work is not complete. Once again in the wrong place at the right time, Frankie is called to fill the void. The Community struggles to exist but drug lords, corrupt government and the Church want them to disappear. Powerful women endure when there are others willing to wear the cloak, especially if it is red.
Frankie learns that very little is in her control and calls on her connection with the universe to keep her alive.
Join Frankie and not those kinds of nun’s fight to exist.
The energy of a powerful woman never dies, and becomes the legacy for those with the courage to transform.

About the author
Gerald Gould
72 books8 followersGerald Gould (1885 – 1936) was an English writer, known as a journalist and reviewer, essayist and poet.
He was brought up in Norwich, and studied at University College, London and Magdalen College, Oxford. He had a position at University College from 1906, and was a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford from 1909 to 1916.
From 1914 he was an official in Masterman's Wellington House Propaganda Department, which may explain his failure to produce much poetry concerned with the War. He also worked as a journalist on the Daily Herald as one of Lansbury's Lambs — a group of idealistic young men helping with it after George Lansbury purchased it in 1913, and which included Douglas Cole, W. N. Ewer, Harold Laski, William Mellor and Francis Meynell.
It was probably Gould who brought Siegfried Sassoon to the paper as literary Editor after its relaunch in 1919. Gould regularly contributed poetry to the Herald and gave several sonnets to Millicent Fawcett's Common Cause when it became the Woman's Leader in 1920.
Gould also reviewed novels for the New Statesman, moving to The Observer as fiction editor in 1920. He was also (not coincidentally) made chief reader for Victor Gollancz Ltd., where he was involved in the early publication history of George Orwell.
His poem Wander-thirst is often quoted. Much of his poetry remains buried in the columns of newspapers and periodicals. The few collections that appeared, although well reviewed by contemporaries, are long out of print.
