The story of the CookieAs early as I can remember, my Mother was not a part of my life. My childhood was filled with sadness, abuse both physical and mental. Growing up and moving on to adulthood was a difficult process because for me there was no one in my family that was a roll model that I wanted to emulate. At an early age in a Baptist home in Inglewood California I learned about Jesus and how he died for my sins. Though at such an early age the concept of salvation through faith was too difficult for a six year old to comprehend.; Yet I and the other children were taught to pray every night before bed, and after words we each received a Cookie. I remember reaching out with my small little hands as she handed it to me. Their were always tears in my eyes from praying. I always prayed for my mother to come back to me. I never forgot the Lady that taught me to pray and gave me a yearn to know more about God. Often even now at seventy five I wish she was there whenever I pray, that she would pray with me and just this once again, hand me a Cookie and give me a hug like she did when I was a little boy that felt lost and alone and unloved. This is my first novel. it is about "love" something that was so hard to come by when I was a lad Thanks to that cookie lady of long ago. I received Christ as my Savior many years later, and this novel is a tribute to her......Robert Larimore WadeI have always loved writing, and have read many books on the subject and I hope that all who read this will be inspired to follow the Lord, and live for him. Whatever you take from this novel, I hope it will enrich your life. My request is only this; when quoting scripture, don't use this book or myself. Use the Bible Love in Christ, Robert Larimore Wade
