MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of Ron Short’s
new fiction book, The Need Word, ($16.99, paperback, 9781498448079; $26.99, hardcover,
9781498448086; $8.99, e-book, 9781498448093) readers will discover
what the word “need” means to Karen Wright. It is a dirty word, showing one’s
inability to stay in control of situations, and even his/her life, as the
person must rely on the help of others to move forward. Yet Karen gets a very
hard and personal lesson on the significance of “need,” especially as a
Christian woman, when she is placed under criminal investigation for child
endangerment. This exciting story begins as Karen is charged with a serious
crime – placed under arrest and transported to the county jail in town. Through
every step of her plea deal proceedings and incarceration while awaiting her
bond, Karen tries to figure out how her life got turned around so quickly. Karen Wright's powerful
transformations allow her to see that there is another world outside of her
home and church life. Having her eyes opened allows her to see a new mission
field, full of others who are in “need” of her Jesus.
“I hope readers understand that we should keep an eye on those around us – including ourselves – to ensure that even those who appear to be the strongest people in our lives can count on us to get involved in their trials,” states the author. “Why? We are our Brother's keeper.”
