About the Book:
| It's summer, 1940. And for one family in North Carolina, life will never be the same. Six children, all under the age of 16, lose their father, their home, their childhood - and find themselves living in an orphanage. This is their story as seen through the eyes of two brothers: a realist, age 11, and an idealist, age 7. Drift into a world where one story has two sides but only one message. What seems like tragedy is ultimately their triumph. Let Richard's Key settle your doubts and reaffirm your faith in a warm and loving God. |

Reviews:
| "Richard's Key has everything I was hoping for. The writing is superb, the characters are wonderfully human, as is the struggle." - Fred Bortz, Author of science and technology books for young readers, www.fredbortz.com
“Thank You for writing Richard’s Key! This is one of the best books I have ever read – I could not put it down. I just loved your inspirational style and the way you made me bond with the characters in the book. It left me begging for more. I can't wait for the sequel!"
"Richard's Key is by far one of the best books I have ever read. I could not put it down, yet I didn't want it to end. It made me laugh, cry, reminisce and count my blessings." - Peggy Baker
"Over the years, I have read many books. Some stay with you longer than others, but Richard’s Key will have a long lasting effect on me. I had to write the attached note, because the words kept playing over and over in my mind." - Jan Wise
"I started reading your book on my flight to DC this week. Thank goodness I didn’t finish it until I was in the comfort of my home last night (being the manly man!)! I was so moved by the story – and truly touched. I have a feeling that this book is going to be very successful! As a Dad of adopted children, I can’t thank you enough for telling this story. I have a lot of questions about Iris and her story. Can’t wait for the sequel!" - Rick Rhodes
"Your book, Richard’s Key, is absolutely awesome! I love your writing style:rich, vivid descriptions of physical, mental, and emotional happenings; episodes that ring so true to every Southerner’s heart and experiences as we “grew up” with our extended families, and a storyline that tugs and tears at your heart. I want to know what happens to all of the siblings, so you have a whole series to write now!" - Karen Mather
