Before an author’s first book is
published, the author is asked to write a tease publishers call “Back Matter”
or a “Blurb”. When asked to do this, I found the task daunting. Though I had a
grabber, I chose to send something less. When asked for the wording of the
trailer, I sent what should have been the Back Matter. Now aware that
the 'blurb' is critical because a good one can cause a browser to choose
my book, today I updated the Back Matter for NO OTHER CHOICE so that it
reflects the reality of Naomi's experience.
For
the curious and authors in the process of writing the Back Matter for their
book, I’ve posted both Back Matter options. And yes, I am aware that some
knowing this is a faith story might find the change unnecessary or unusual.
Yet, in doing this I keep faith with my heroine, and the Lord who charged us to
go unto all the world...what I can tell you that this as well as all my other
books are cringe free, and I would have gladly shared any one of them with my
teenaged daughters.

Naomi
will be sent back! She left her family and all she held dear, traveled half way
around the word while accompanying a blind, old grandmother because they
promised to help her enter America and find her uncle. Instead they handed her
over to immigration. What she does now, she because there is no other choice!

As
timely as the immigration debate of today is, author, William Struse’s
endorsement says, “Duty, sacrifice, and faith are carried in the arms of love
by a courageous young woman, who rises above her own flaws to help others.”
