Product Details
My name is Jeff Gunhus. I'm a USA Today bestselling author who is self-publishing this very personal novella (135 pages) and seeking people interested in reviewing it in exchange for a free ebook. This story was inspired by my diagnosis of stage 3 cancer when I was given a 25% chance of living more than two years. As a father of five, it was a heart-breaking diagnosis. I wrote this book as a guide to my kids to dealing with grief and loss of a loved one... using a story filled with adventure as a way to share my ideas.
Five years later and still cancer-free, I felt like it was time to share this story with others.
While it was written for my kids, I hope that it resonates with readers of all ages. I hope you enjoy.
A bit about the book:
Caroline loses her spark. It takes a great adventure for her to find it again.
When Caroline loses her father in a car accident, she can't shake the feeling that it was her fault. Consumed by grief, she has a difficult time readjusting to a world that has changed so dramatically for her. Not long after her father's death, a strange window opens in the middle of the small lake behind her house. She climbs up an old oak to peer inside, but falls out of the tree and discovers that the window also serves as a door into a different world.
Enter Mordecai the Gand, a mysterious traveler who befriends Caroline and promises to help her find a way back home since the window she fell through has disappeared. The two set out on a series of adventures that include visiting a tree village populated by a tribe known for eating travelers, running into a witch under a spell of her own making, hiding in a cave with a dragon encased in a wall of ice (prone to melting by campfire), all the while being pursued by a mysterious entity call the Creach which promises to devour Caroline and trap her in an eternity of despair.
As they navigate these adventures and this new world, Caroline slowly discovers that she is meant to help each of the characters she meets. As she battles internally whether to stay or return home to the sadness and grief waiting for her there, she must regain perspective and open her heart to the act of caring and to the joy of love itself. In the end, she must demonstrate great courage, loyalty, and caring as the plot unfolds, becoming the active hero of her own story.
