"Incredible thought provoking tale"
Penny Cheney is a stay at home mother of four year old
twin girls and a baby boy while her husband Hal works at
International Supplies. However, Penny becomes ill and
keels over in her kitchen. Hal rushes her to Southlawn
Hospital where she is placed in the intensive care ward in
a comatose state with no hope of recovery. While Penny remains near death, miracles begin to happen
in the hospital. Reporter Louis Klotz whose asthma is
cured realizes that Penny is the center of incredible
miracle worker of individuals dying from incurable
diseases. His article brings the world to this small
hospital. When Penny regains consciousness she tells Hal that she
was given a choice of entering the light or returning to
her family with a healing gift not seen on earth in two
millenniums. Penny will soon learn that her gift is also
a curse as the demands on her become unbelievable with
some people willing to endanger her loved ones to force
her hand. PENNY'S GIFT is an incredible thought provoking tale that
focuses on the impact on a divine miracle worker who just
wants to be a good loving mother and wife, not a save the
world second coming. The story line starts like a typical
family drama, but quickly turns into a fabulous parable
from the moment Penny receives Hobson's Choice until the
climax of dealing with an endless demand. This is a great
insightful tale of sacrifice from an author who has quite
a future if this "daydream:" is any indication of her
talent. Harriet Klausner
