Naomi Wise

I just finished reading a friend’s newest book, Naomi Wise: A Cautionary Tale. Sandra Redding grew up in Randolph County, NC hearing tales of the orphan, Naomi Wise who was murdered as a young woman on the banks of  Deep River. The author dreamed of  one day writing a novel about Naomi. Kudos to Redding for her perseverance!

Naomi’s life becomes entwined with two women who also have dreams and persevere. Mary Ruth,  a farm wife, and Arabelle, an escaped slave, try to guide and protect the orphan whose life ends tragically.

Sandra is a gifted writer who has won many writing contests. To read more about her, her books, or to read the first chapter of Naomi go to her website @ www.sandraredding.com

A Special Book

I most often use an online dictionary and thesaurus. But this book is extra special to me. My mother saved S&H Green Stamps that she received from every purchase she made at the grocery store. I remember licking the yucky stamps and pasting them into little booklets. Then Mama would redeem them at the Stamp Store.
