A fifteen year-old Christian girl, on the brink of losing her faith in mankind as a whole.. until one old man's kindness and generosity changes her life forever.
"Life will always knock you down. Learn to roll with the punches and get back up. Then go again."
Catrina Barton is a real go-getter, who in 2006 turned her avid reading addiction since three, into a vigorous passion for writing. Especially New Adult Romances. Drawing on her knowledge as a Kung-Fu Instructor she makes her fight scenes both realistic and action packed. When not indulging her fertile imagination to craft stories for your reading pleasures she enjoys hiking with her family and amateur belly dancing. Proud member of many writing and marketing groups. An active participant at Critique Circle and several other crit groups. Her love of writing and her family rival her exhilaration from helping fellow writers. That's why she created her blog: Kitty's Inner Thoughts.
Fave Personal quote: "An author cannot grow without both constructive criticism and encouragement."
This is a short-story packed with heart-warming details. Based on a true story, the main character not only regains her faith, but offers the rest of us a glimpse of God's mercy and kindness through ordinary people.
In this cynical world, it's easy to lose hope in goodness without the expectation of reciprocal reward or immediate payment, but Barton reminds us in this story that despite our trials and suffering, God still supplies just what we need...eventually. Good message about the power of "paying it forward," and the power each of us has to save a life.
This story was so well written you could feel the emotion, identify with the characters, and feel the relief offered by the generous spirit of the gentleman in this story. If you appreciate a story that will engender both a positive lesson, and leave you feeling great at the end, this is a story for you!
Fabulous job Ms Barton! Thank you so much for creating and sharing this.
