When a killer dog and a toddler are found sitting precariously near I-65 in Kentucky, they are taken to what appears to be a working farm, or is it? To the neighboring town, the farm is business as usual, Hay and cattle, but something more is also going on within those fences. The people there, mostly former or retired military working just outside federal and local jurisdiction, had an interest in the idea that to better the lives of people, even fierce enemies, could perhaps be accomplished if each was living in the reality of the other. The phrase winning hearts and minds had been used in military campaigns with some success, so they worked with individuals to study this premise applied on a much smaller and more personalized scale. Could changes be made one person at a time? Would it work and be lasting? Finally, would it make a difference. Once the unlikely pair arrived, it was quickly apparent that the people who had been responsible for their care needed to be found and brought to the facility as well. No one working at the facility could have predicted this would test them to their limits. Baby's Breath is a novel that explores bias and how our human nature plays out from one person to the next. Have you ever found yourself wondering why a person treats another the way they do? If roles were reversed, would they view their actions differently? The characters in Baby's Breath allow you to enter their lives and perhaps gain a better understanding of the why.Bias against someone seems to be the norm and we've forgotten that a person may be reacting due to any number of recent or past experiences just to survive. Certain characters in my book I imagined were sitting with me and told me what to write. I now see them as dear friends who could have done better with a seasoned writer, so I ask their fictional forgiveness. My wish is that you enjoy my first novel. If you come away with anything, come away with the understanding that a preconceived notion of how a person appears in life is only the surface. Treasures may be discovered if you dig a bit deeper.
