Welcome!

 

My name is Mrs.D. and I am the author of children's books.

Each book carries a different message, but they all have something in common. It takes the soul, heart, and labor of many people to create one small children's book. I may be the author of these beautifully made books, but it took "a village of people" to bring them to the reader. I know there are many more people I've never met behind each of my books, people who worked so hard and contributed a part of themselves to every page.

What will I tell my little readers when I read them my books. I will tell them that I am enormously thankful to the extraordinary people who put so much effort into every book and made my dreams come true. I will tell my little readers to treat books as their friends, and that when they read these small books, they should look for the smiles of these wonderful people, watching them reading from behind every word, page, and illustration.

Thank you for visiting my site.

My new website, www.mrsdbooks.com, is coming soon!

The Little Girl Praying on the Hill

 
2014 Readers' Favorite International Gold Award Winner

 

"The Little Girl Praying on the Hill" is a bittersweet story based on the emotional childhood memories of a young girl determined to understand the purpose for her existence. Growing up in a poor village of the post-World War II era in a country where half the men drink themselves to death by the age of forty, the confused child questions God. The beauty of nature around her animates her and paints the perfect combination of colors, but life in her rundown village, sinking in mud after each rainfall, is a strong contrast. She exists between two worlds: her beautiful imagination and the harsh realities of life. The picture of majestic nature does not fit with the picture that God created for the people he loves. Why did he divide this world so unevenly? Why did he drop her in the wrong place? Her emotions rise to unreachable heights and sink to devastating lows. The gripping beauty of his creation mesmerizes her young mind, but only for a moment before her memories of specific events make her doubt God's intentions.
