Everyone has a backstory. Some people carry the somber parts of their story to their graves, clutching their secrets tightly, not suspecting the shadows of darkness they've buried, deep within, are affecting those they love most.
Beyond the Cradle is YA Literary Fiction that occupies the nineteen-eighties and nineties; and briefly scrolls back into the forties. It speaks to change in its many forms-changes we do not invite into our lives, and changes we pursue. It is set primarily in New York City and West Virginia. Both are simply places on the cradle, called earth, where we sleep and do a form of life until someone comes along to rock the cradle. We never know how much we long for such a person, until they show up.You'll find two coming of age stories, stemming from two different family dynamics and worldviews; precious romances; friendships; jealousies; missed signals and opportunities; and how life goes on, even when circumstances cause one to wish it would just stop. Heart-warming truths run throughout this story, such as, practicing sexual abstinence before marriage; a sense of wonder, which we can rediscover or discover within nature; homeschooling, as an honored way of life; and how every choice we make adds to or detracts from wisdom's song.
This story [has] a unique voice and tone. It's a delight to the senses and the soul. CHRIS FABRY, award-winning author of War Room and Dogwood.
