FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
United Kingdom – Born
with a disability, many said Tami Jenkins would fall short of achieving her
dreams. As a smart and independent woman, Jenkins is proving them more than
wrong with the release of her compelling debut novel.
‘Father to Son: The Early Years’ is the first volume in her
new trilogy, focusing on one man’s reflections on life. Of course, as with any
good book, his retrospective recounts a life story that will leave readers with
plenty to think about.
Synopsis:
Whilst walking through
fields of golden corn, with the sun on his back, Sam Dellaney began
recollecting his younger years and all that had taken place on his homestead.
He had been born and
raised on this property and this had been his life for 85 years, handed down
from father to son. He was proud of this small but over the year’s profitable
farm. His Mom and dad had been proud folk, with hearts as kind and soft as the
cotton that was harvested every year.
As a young boy he had
followed his dad like the shadow of the midday sun, watching and learning,
eager to help where he could. His Pa was happy to teach this young boy all he
knew, for it was the legacy he would leave one day.
Years passed and the
young lad was in high school, he found his Sweetheart, whom he knew one day
would be his wife, of this he was sure. They both graduated high school and
went onto the same college. With great pride he brought home his girl to meet
his folks and them her, for they had heard so much about his first love, they
were sure they would love her too.
The bond between the
four of them was evident when sat around the table; the laughter and smiles
came as a reassurance to the boy that all was well.
His Mother had always
wanted more than one child but it wasn’t to be, so she invested every ounce of
her time, love and devotion to raising her one and only son.
By the time college
graduation arrived, his parents were becoming frail as they had him later in life,
which had never bothered them. His Mother and father dressed in their Sunday
best were sat watching the graduation ceremony, Mama holding back tears and dad
holding her hand.
“Many people reach a point in their life where they look
back, either poignantly or with pride,” says Jenkins. “My novel represents one
fictional man’s simple yet incredibly uplifting story.”
Continuing, “There’s no superheroes or villains – but a
regular man whose influence can be just as powerful.”
Early reviews have been impressive. Dale P. King comments,
“This is a great book I love the storyline and look forward to the sequels.
Highly recommend to anyone who wants to read a novel that is a little different
in style.”
Geri was also impressed, adding, “What can I say, except I
was not able to put this book down. Can’t wait for the next in the series.”
