Sunlight and Shadows J B Palmer

A Gripping Family Saga Set in the Mid-Century SouthThis novel follows the lives of a seemingly average family from the Southeastern United States in the second quarter of the twentieth century. J. B. Palmer tells the tale as only she could; join her as she leads you through the sunlight. You may discover that not only does evil dwell in shadows but that, sometimes, those very same shadows may be all you have to keep you alive. About the AuthorJ. B. Palmer grew up in a small town in South Carolina during the fifties and sixties. As the youngest child of an older Baptist minister and his much younger wife, her childhood was steeped in religion and cloaked with repression. She wanted to be a writer, but her well-meaning parents thought a young girl's only goal in life should be marriage and children. Though her poetry was published and moderately successful, she laid her pen aside to do what was expected of her - marry a good man and have his babies. After her children were older, she became a columnist for several local newspapers, sharing glimpses of her life with her readers. Her humor about everyday life made her a lot of fans. But it was not until a local theater group performed a play based on a short story she wrote that she realized she had a gift for storytelling. Her book, Sunlight and Shadows, is the direct result of that realization. Read it for yourself and see what it took her years to discover - that J. B. Palmer is a natural born story teller.
