My First E-Book

This was my first book for my new e-reader, The Priest and The Peaches by Larry Peterson.  Yes, I picked a young adult book to start off with.  Why?  Well the learning curve of how it all works.  Wondering if I would like using the screen and all.  It all worked fine and I did not even bop myself in the head once.  I know, but, it seems that when I read in bed I get sleepy.  Imagine that.  And then the books falls on my face....BOP!  You know what I mean.

Well here I read of the plight of the Peaches.  A family of 5 children (not all under the age of 18) who have lost their parents to deaths door.  Now having to learn how to come together so that things are going to work out, the Peaches find solace in their Priest and his positive outlook of life.  It is great that they keep getting 'signs' of how their father wanted them to live.  By loving each other and their neighbors everything good can happen.  The L-Y-N (Love Your Neighbor) theme is all through out this book.  Sure enough they have a world of worries to contend with but by allowing trust, love and the hand of God (hey, the Priest knows these things) life finally looks like it will settle down.

I was glad this was a quick read.  I think that it would be good for a tween to see that even in the worst of times things can work out.  We all have to deal with death at some time in our lives.  Sadly these kids have had to deal with it all too much.  But they learn how to become self reliant and thankful for the love of others.  I am glad there is such a positive message here.  Remember that if it was not for the community around us we would not be able to do as much as we do every day.  Think about it.  Nicole (Tribute Books) did a great job of sharing this newest author and e-book with me.  Thanks!

Here is all the details if you would like to get your own copy or contact Larry Peterson yourself.

The Priest and the Peaches Book Summary

Historical fiction novel set in the Bronx in the mid-1960s

Take a seven day journey with the five, newly orphaned Peach kids, as they begin their struggle to remain a family while planning their dad's funeral.

They find an ally in the local parish priest, Father Tim Sullivan, who tries his best to guide them through the strange, unchartered and turbulent waters of "grown-up world." A story that is sad, funny, and inspiring as it shows how the power of family love and faith can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
