Maxine Billings is a native of Villa Rica, GA. She now lives in Temple, GA with her husband Tony and their children Natasha and Stefan.
Maxine has enjoyed reading and writing as far back as she can remember. During her summer vacations from school, she participated in the reading program at the local library and spent most of her time reading. She also likes to write poetry. In the tenth grade, one of her poems was published in a school anthology. She liked writing so much that she always wrote more on writing assignments than what the teacher required. One of her cousins used to tease her profusely because she always wrote so much when he only wrote what the class was told and got the same grade as her, an A. When he found out that she had become a published author, he told her that he was glad all that writing she used to do finally paid off.
Maxine loves to read and write wholesome stories that inspire people in positive ways and give them hope. When she isn't writing, she loves spending time in spiritual activities and with her family. She also likes to dance, listen to Jazz and R & B, and do container gardening.
This is probably one of the best books I've read. I like how it deals with grief even from a Christian's perspective. It made me realize that I may not be as strong as I think I would be. Lord, help us and give us the strength we need after we have lost a dear loved one! I especially recommend this book to anyone who is grieving, but we can all learn something from it.
A bit slow, but a good story. Kept my attention. Probably more true to life then we want to accept. I unfortunately found out I am not very patient when it comes to depression in others.
