Restorative Justice / Common Good / Egalitarianism
There is a Balm in Wichita Falls, like my previous book, tells a true story of restoration from a horrific crime event. This time, I tell a deeply impactful story of healing from the perspective of two incredible crime-victim survivors. I invite you to journey with Linda White (“Mr. White”) and Ellen Halbert (“The Ninja Lady”) as they recover their lives from the abyss of physical and emotional trauma.
This true story will captivate you with its twists and turns, inspire you as its protagonists seek justice, and surprise you with its unforeseen ending.
Are you in a book club or study group at church? This book is particularly well-suited for discussions on the topics of retribution, revenge, the prevalence of violence, restoration, reconciliation, and forgiveness.
Or better yet, invite me to present to your group.
