This book has a little over 57,000 words and is a true story of one man’s dream, my dream, of being a writer and living in a cabin in the woods. It seemed impossible at times for me to achieve that dream, and most would have never even attempted to try to do what I did. Because of my faith and what seems like a divine hand guiding me, I pressed on to do what I felt was my purpose and my destiny.
This is my story of how I had a dream and tried to follow it. It tells of all the trials and tribulations I endured and how I kept going to fulfill that dream.
While trying to achieve this dream, I lost my mother, my wife, my children, my job, and my home. At one point, I had no money, no job and no home, yet I had faith.
Later, by this faith, I built a cabin by hand, using only a hammer and a handsaw. I dug my own well, installed solar electric and became a nationally published writer. Then, when I thought I had almost reached my goal, I lost nearly everything again. I lost my best friend, my father, and my loving wife whom I had found not long before. I also nearly lost a son.
Picking up the pieces, I began again trying to follow that dream. This is that story and it is not yet over, for there are several more chapters in my life. Because of this, you, too, will become part of that dream when you read this book.
This story is written on a very personal level. I try to tell things that happened and the way I felt at the time. I believe that speaking to the reader, as I would a close friend, gives a better understanding of the author’s view and adds depth to the story. I will also be sharing my faith in God, for without His help I would not be here writing this book.
I believe this book will increase your faith, give you hope and encourage you to follow your dreams. Therefore, I hope you will enjoy reading "A Cabin in the Woods."
