FROM BACK COVER
Who would have thought that a chance meeting of strangers in England would result in a life-long friendship, the conception of The Oakhampton Comfort Society, and the birth of this book? And what a book! Truly absorbing and immensely readable as it takes us on a journey of discovery for each of the main characters. Journeys containing happiness, sadness, loss, devastation, sorrow, fear, passion, joy, the miracle of childbirth, love, friendship, faith, and the 'Girlfriends'.
Who could want more from a book? We smiled, we laughed, we wept tears of joy and sadness. We felt the ache of sorrow, the warmth of love, and the strength of faith.
We feel privileged to have played our part in this story and wish our friend, the author, every success with it. We will certainly recommend it toour friends.
On a personal note, we have explained to our family that there is such a thing as 'poetic license'.
