whispers - Paperback

Some decisions are simple: Do I want chocolate or vanilla ice cream? Some are difficult: Of the two jobs I've been offered, which should I choose? Some are life altering not only for the decision maker but for others also. A wrong choice can result in a lifetime of squandered happiness and opportunity. Such is the universal story of Maria Delgado. Cleveland's colorful neighborhoods provide the setting for the dilemma she faces. It is the same one that challenges the church, the law, and the heart and mind of individuals. Told in a unique structure, the conflict-and-resolution journey introduces us to Maria's diverse group of friends, her shocking and troubled past, and her confused thoughts. Her desperate quest for the best choice prompts readers to appreciate the influence of past experiences, the value of relationships, and the complexity of life's choices. It also causes us to look at the basis for decisions. Unfortunately, we learn that there are no epiphanies. Be quiet. Listen to the whisper in your heart.
