from So God Told You To Write a Book - Now What? · host Wendy Jo Cerna - Writing Process and Writing Inspiration
Episode 15 of Season 2 finds us exploring one teen aged girl's experience of living near a United States naval base in the Philippines during the Vietnam War - all through the lens of Mary Sheldahl's debut novel "Torn Between Two Worlds - The Cost of Forgiveness". The book is based on Mary's own life experiences when she and her family were sent to the Philippines so that her father could run a Lutheran Serviceman's Center near Subic Bay Naval Station. Taking her memories and processing them into a compelling story arc was healing, challenging and rewarding for Mary. Listen in as she explains how that journey unfolded for her as she looked back on things that happened many years ago and pulled them into this fresh novel that is relevant to today.
