If Only for a Season

What the fans say about this inspiring book!

I stayed up until 2 A.M. to finish your book. Couldn't put it down.  Walt read it as soon as we received it and really enjoyed it. Said he liked the stories of the early years best.  I really liked the book and your personal faith in God comes through loud and clear. Walt had told me I would like your story, I know you had a lot of your life experiences in it. That is what made it ring true to life. - Cathy

Just wanted to let you know that I finished reading the book.    I'll tell you once I picked it up, I could hardly put it down.  It was wonderful.  Certain parts of it really tugged at my heart as I couldn't help but think of you, John, Michael, Brad & Jaynacia.  Last night as I sat under the dryer in the salon I started reading it a second time to make sure I keep all of the pieces together. 

At any rate, it was wonderful and I am so proud of you!  Are you going to write a sequel regarding your life with Edmond? - Janet

 

Oh my, I purchased your book while vacationing in DC with John recently.  We were traveling out of the city to the mountains in West VA. and I began to read your book out load to him. This is something we have shared for many years. Any rate, the more I read, the more he and I became intrigued and into the story line. Well, I have had a very hard time putting the book down since I started it.  Finally, I just read the very last word. All I can say is 'congratulations'!  You have done a remarkable job!  I applaud you and praise God with you for what He has allowed you to accomplish. WOW!!!  
Your writing style is so very engaging and captivating.  I encourage you to continue to write as you are so inspired and I will continue to wait for the next book:).  
May God continue to bless you and may you continue to follow His lead. 
Best regards, Jackie

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


If Only for a Season

ifonlyby Bertha Connally Abraham

Adam and BJ do the unthinkable growing up in the south in the sixties. They enter into an agreement that translate into an arranged marriage, one of convenience. Who would ever imagine an arranged marriage between two young black teens during this turbulent season?  They make a conscious decision to become husband and wife based initially on a verbal contract between the two of them and then enlisted the approval of their parents. Out of a desire to escape a life of poverty Adam and BJ conceive this idea. With the permission and blessings of their parents the marriage becomes a reality.   

They foster powerful and nurturing relationships while wandering from one place to another meshing their lives with the lives of people they encounter on this incredible adventure.  BJ believes that she and Adam descend from a nomadic tribe somewhere in the deep corners of Africa because of their desire to always roam in search of new places and new friends. With this belief so rigidly fixed in her mind BJ accepts each challenge as they arise and develop the courage and strength to triumph over them.  Some storms arrive with punishing gale force winds while others noisy rush in fizzling out unnoticed.  What Adam and BJ learn and take away from these adventures shape and mold them into the unique human beings predestined of God.
