My niece Angela Hallstrom has just had a wonderful novel published (her debut) called "Bound on Earth."
"This novel is about three generations of a modern-day LDS family and deals with the power of family and staying together in the face of trials. In a series of interconnected stories, you are able to see life through the points of view of a young man with bi-polar disorder, an older daughter who always tries to do what is right, and a mother who struggles with her ability to be an effective parent, as well as many other contemporary issues. Bound on Earth can be purchased from Amazon.com where additional reviews are also available. More information on the author can be found at AngelaHallstrom.com. The cover illustration was provided by Anthony Sweat [one of Angela's brothers] and his additional work, both LDS and non-LDS themed, can be viewed at AnthonySweat.com. "
(Thanks to my nephew Andrew for providing this good description.)
I encourage you to buy and read Angela's book so that1) You will be enriched by reading her well-crafted and insightful prose,
2) She will become rich and famous, and
3) I will be related to a rich and famous person.
Surely three compelling reasons to support this gifted young writer!
