“Too much, too soon,” an old woman once said when life’s frantic pace frustrated her. The author of this book agrees with her. In Backroad Ramblings Volume 4 , author Donna Poole invites you to get off life’s crazy interstate, sit a spell, and find yourself in a story. Backroad Ramblings Volume 4 is Donna Poole’s tenth published book. The forty-eighty Christian inspirational short stories in this book encompass the joys and tragedies we all face. They remind us we aren’t alone. They help us see hope through our tears. Stories are the bridge truth travels from head to heart, and this author is a seasoned bridge builder. Her stories will make you laugh out loud, reach for a box of tissues, or sit and think. They will inspire you to live for what matters most and make the best of the time you have. The book includes tales of holidays, camping, family life, aging, adventures, addiction, love, loss, and just plain fun . It also delves into the inspiring stories of people who face disappointment, cancer, and even death with faith and courage . This book is a compilation of the fourth year of Donna’s blog posts and includes five never-before published stories exclusively available in this volume: 1. “The Two Dolls” 2. “Their Last Summer” 3. “Mr. Peter Pan” 4. “The Shell Seekers” 5. “Trouble in the Garden” Each story takes no more than five minutes to read, so why not get off the interstate and park your car on a country lane. Sit on a porch, pour yourself a glass of lemonade, and let Donna tell you a story or two. They might help you find hope for yourself or to share with someone else.
