A STROKE IN TIME

About the Book

This captivating book intertwines two powerful stories of survival, faith, and transformation. In the first story, A Stroke in Time Memoir, we follow a courageous educator who, while returning home from her graduate course in screenwriting at the New York Institute of Technology in New York City, survives a life-changing accident on the New Jersey Turnpike. In gratitude for her survival, she vows to honor God by dedicating her life to His purpose. This story is a testament to resilience and the power of faith. The second story, LAMB O.G. A Walk – Through – Life Story in Honor of God, introduces a lamb named Lamb O.G., who stumbles from a Christmas manger set and embarks on a spiritual journey. Nicknamed the “Old Blessed One,” he faces a fight for power against an evil ram, ultimately embracing a role as a heroic faith leader in a story of redemption and hope. The story brings a unique perspective to the themes of sacrifice, resilience and faith. Together, these stories highlight the strength found in vulnerability and the power of God in overcoming life’s challenges. They emphasize the transformative impact of near-death experiences, showing how adversity can inspire a renewed commitment to family and purpose. Through her journey, the author honors her promise to God, finding new meaning and fulfillment as she finally writes “A Stroke in Time” which was the title of her incomplete screenplay. These stories are a tribute to the miracle that saved her life and the faith that sustained her.
