The painting is called, Prada Girl. The artist is Clarence Lum, a Saginaw resident. When I saw his painting, my heart
started to pound, my mind began to race, a story began to tumble out of my
heart.
Clarence and I went to school together at St. Mary Cathedral. When he moved back to Saginaw a few years ago I had the pleasure of getting to know him again. I couldn't stop thinking about this picture after I saw it in his house. It was in a pile of pictures waiting to be taken to a gallery showing at Fandangles' in Flushing, Michigan.

I am happy to announce that I
have purchased the rights to use his painting as the cover of my next book,
"New Beginnings."
It is a story of a mother and her daughter, Aubrey and
Annie, moving to Saginaw from Texas.
They are invited to live with a cousin and her daughter, Brianna and
Riley. The story will follow where they
have been and where they are headed after many "New Beginnings." As a matter of fact, Annie is tired of
"New Beginnings" she just wants life to stay the same for awhile.
This eBook will be published sometime in 2016. I am thankful for the inspiration that
Clarence has provided. To see more of
