Below is the synopsis of my first novel: "Flight of the Bluebirds"! As a bonus, I've included an excerpt, and temporary book cover! (Until I can get my very talented artist sister to draw me one.) Enjoy! Please comment and let me know your thoughts!
Synopsis:

challenging achieving that dream will be. When she starts nursing school she

Prologue-May 11, 2012
“Lynne
Hoffman!”
I walk proudly across the stage when my name is called. My
smile widens as I hear my family and friends cheering loudly. I cannot believe
this day has finally arrived!
Shirley,
my nursing instructor, pins the symbol of my accomplishment onto my white
uniform right above my heart. I have done it! I have actually finished nursing
school! Now all I have to do is pass the exam to get my license. Taking that
test is too scary to think about. Instead, I want to enjoy this moment.
I return to my seat
and watch my friends receive their pins. There were times when I thought this
day would never come. I think back over the journey my classmates and I have taken
together to reach this moment. We have faced love, loss, victory, defeat, new
life, and death. Nursing school had been one of the toughest challenges of my
life. It has also been an adventure I will never forget. It all began with a
letter…
