LONGWOOD, FL-Two children bored with their summer routine step through an unusual tree and embark on an extraordinary adventure. They journey to another realm with an important friend. Finding themselves in the center of a terrible battle, they discover things are not what they appear and their young lives are soon changed forever. Join Tom and Nancy on an exciting, hope-filled journey in Tricia Martin's The Old Tree (paperback, 978-1-60034-987-4). The book, the first in a series, "takes you back to when life was slower and there were clear lines between good and evil, right and wrong," says the author.
A former family therapist, Martin was always looking for good books for her son to read when he was young. As a child, she herself was greatly impacted by several children's fantasy books. Now, years later, she desires to impact the hearts of children and her own child with her fantasy adventures centered on a loving, kind, and powerful character who transforms the lives of all who come into contact with Him.
"This is a children's fantasy for all ages that promotes solid moral values," says Martin. "Books can affect our minds in the same way food affects our bodies. We need to fill our minds with ideas that reinforce honesty, healthy relationships, kindness, and moral character. I have placed my values and personal experiences into the pages of this book. It not only is entertaining but also has substance and an important message." Both the young and young at heart will enjoy reading MartinŐs story, which serves as a sound moral compass for children during the storms of life.
Tricia Martin lives in Orange County, California, with her husband, Steve, and her teenage son, Mike.
