Poor Joseph has been maligned as a spoiled brat by some. Sunday School teachers portray him as the boy whose brothers were mad because his daddy gave him a pretty coat. But Joseph was more than either of those portrayals. He was a human being, with human failings like you and me. The difference with Joseph was his God. God set him apart and molded him for a special job. He gave him a good reputation, a wife and sons - a new life in a foreign land when his position and natural rank were ripped away from him. I have tried to fill in the blanks in this book of fiction based on his life as recorded in the Bible.
I was born in 1938 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. My grandmother was the first white child to enter the valley and I heard stories about pioneering from the time I was laying in my basenette. That was the beginning of my love of history and telling stories. When I discovered the power of the written word, I used it, not only for writing serious pieces for for expressing my views on politics and religion, but to tell parables - interesting stories to demonstrate helpful truths. I published devotions on line for about three years and numerous newspaper articles through the years. I also published some of my novels on line a few years ago, but now it is time to get my writing out to a broader public.
