Fiction Title Transports Readers Back in Time 125 Years Ago

Author's sparkling debut has a message for all ages.

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 17, 2008 -- Brenda Fisher's debut novel, The Adventures of Abigail: Second Chances (978-1-60477-623-2), represents the culmination of years spent honing her craft as an editor of her high school newspaper; a writer of manuals, newsletters, and booklets; and a contributing historical writer to her local newspaper. But, more importantly, it represents the achievement of a lifelong goal: to help herself and others pursue a life of integrity and biblical morals that brings glory to God.

Fisher's book tells the story of a young Christian woman, Abigail Richards. One seemingly ordinary summer Saturday, she discovers a beautiful antique quilt with a mysterious poem embroidered on the back. Collecting the treasure from along the roadside, Abigail solves the poem's riddle and is whisked back in time to the year 1863. Abraham Lincoln is president, the Civil War is in full swing, and Abigail has traveled more than 125 years back in time. Her romanticized ideas of living in the nineteenth century come to a screeching halt when she must learn to cook on a wood stove and live without modern conveniences. More importantly, she discovers how she has become who she is through a delightful pioneer family and learns how important courage, sacrifice, and a strong family base was for our pioneer ancestors.

Says Fisher, "(My book) has a message for all ages through the ages and once people get into it they have a hard time not thinking about what's going to happen next, thinking about it till they pick it up again to find out. (I hope readers learn) that God loves them, is always there for them no matter what, and that everyone needs to have a personal relationship with the one and true God through His Son, Jesus Christ."
