From the author who brought you Hell's Christmas comes the back-story you've waited for. In Hell's Hallway, we revisit Monika Hell before she became the Monika Hell we love to hate...or should that be hate to love? How many doors have to close in Monika's life before God opens the one that changes everything? Just how long will Monika stay in the hallway?
Cynthia grew up in the small town of Lake Butler, Florida. After high school, she started a family and now has 3 children. She currently teaches high school English where is able to share her stories with her students. She loves Jesus and has many stories to share about faith. She resides in Florida with her husband, three children, and two cats.
As others have stated this is a prequel/sequel to Hell's Christmas by Cynthia P. Willow. I found myself during my reading of Hell's Christmas wondering what had happened to make Monika Hell such a jaded character. This book has the answers. Yet at the same time it shows how God had a plan for Monika all her life. It is a fun read filled with angels and the fallen as well as a real look at how our perceptions color our life experience. Unlike Ms. Willow's other novels the Hell's books are not children's fare but a grown up look at complex situations and yet she keeps the child like wonder of her previous works. Five big stars from this pastor.
This new novelette gives you a whole new look at Hell's Christmas and Monica Hell. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Monica's life before the book and hope the author plans to do a novelette on Justin, too! If you liked Hell's Christmas, you'll definitely want to read this book!
