Embers Press, 2021

In All the Colors of My Soul, Neva Holiday, a decent, God-fearing wife and mother, reveals how she is plunged from a teen occupied with dreams of happily-ever-after into the darkness of retribution and murder. Growing up in the 1930s Santa Clara Valley, California, Neva wanted nothing more than to reach eighteen, have a beau, get married and mother a houseful of kids. Simple, quiet, peaceful. As she blossoms into a young woman during high school, she finds herself torn between a life-long bond with Royce, the boy next door and her growing love for Will, a handsome newcomer escaping the destitution of Dust Bowl Oklahoma. Before she can discover the desire of her heart, WWII tears her world apart, plunging her into years of fear and dread of receiving the telegram beginning, "We regret to inform you." A son, Danny, brings joy, purpose and focus to her life until an insidious influence creeps into the family unawares, creating an unspeakable tragedy, forever shattering Neva's dreams of quiet happiness, and forcing her to confront whether she will turn the other cheek or strike back with a calculated retribution that shakes her to the core of her soul.
