A Story Book Collection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798822901544)

A Storybook Collection is a compilation of ten short stories. While some transport readers to another place and time in history from the Appalachian Mountains to the plains of the Dakotas to Boston, others inspire hope and self-reflection. In "Some Sunday Morning," Sangwin draws inspiration from the work of artist A. Durand to tell the story of the pioneering, God-fearing Browne family. "The White Buffalo," inspired by the work of artist Robert Summers, is another work of historical fiction that follows a Sioux adolescent as he prepares to become a man, only to have the sacred rite interrupted by an event that will forever change his tribe's way of life. "The Disappearance of Bridget Landergin" and "The Enchanted Tea House are related mysteries with a touch of magic. "The Seeker," "The Waiting" and "The Refreshing" are inspirational pieces that place ordinary people in extraordinary situations where characters find the strength to face challenging circumstances. "One Scary Night" was first written while Sangwin was a seventh-grade student. "Me" is a poem to encourage introspection. And "A Moment in Time" offers readers a serious brain teaser. A Storybook Collection delivers an engaging story time for the entire family. And while the stories are unique, they are also familiar and allow us the opportunity to consider our own faith and purpose.
