Janet Monroe lived an average life as a thirty-five year old
professional. She woke every morning on
a routine of getting up, going to work, and coming home to an empty house. Then one day, Janet discovered news that put her life in a major recourse. So she decided to take her dream vacation and headed to paradise south of
the Caribbean .
Janet’s amazing venture was taking shape until she met an unexpected
person who shown her there were more to life than meets the eye.
Will Janet’s discovery change her life forever? Or, she will allow fear to take its
course? Find out more in the short
story, SEVEN MONTHS, a part of a collection in the novella, UNTIMELY REVELATIONS,
coming December 2011.
In Imani’s Words…
Before writing this short story, I knew I wanted to write
about a person literally finding their footsteps. I think anyone who is reading this post is trying
to find their own. We walk on the path
life, and quickly, a sand storm blows its earthly grain on our way. While it’s frustrating, we must learn not to
give up. And in Janet’s case, she had
no choice to go on.
I knew writing this story I wanted to convey a message of
hope. Times are hard in this country and
around the world. People need a break
from their hardship to hear a good narrative.
In the meantime, time awaits for no one. Not for you, or me, or even Janet Monroe's in this world.
Unexpected things in life can force us to stand still and notice how time can become an enemy. And sometimes, the last rose petal is simply not enough.
