Benny Berman's Lighthouse

The fishing village of Windflower Hale has a long and mysterious history, nestled between black rocks and a yellow sandy shore. Benny Berman, the grumpy Lighthouse Keeper, comes from a line of men with ornery hearts who believe that their cranky nature is essential to their duties. The villagers respect their solitude, knowing that the Berman clan has kept them safe during storms. However, the village also has Rosie Cantor, a calm healer who tends to the sick with her year-round blooming flowers. Benny, never curious before, becomes fascinated by Rosie and the flowers she carries in a covered basket. As Benny grows old and falls ill, he longs to see these flowers before he passes. Rosie brings him the mysterious basket filled with beautiful blooms, and Benny understands the mystery and beauty he has yearned for all his life before he passes. This heartfelt, allegorical seaside tale explores life's larger themes in a simple story. A 28-page book.

About the Author
Stanley, Patsy: - Born in Appalachia, my family moved to Michigan when I was a child. Around thirty, I moved to Texas and soon encountered a Babaguru teacher. In an initiation in the '80's, I was assigned to write a book on atomic structure, which I knew nothing about. Twenty years later, I published six non-fiction metaphysical books on atomic structure with a former nuclear physicist as my advisor. After I was introduced to psychodrama, an intense, emotional enactment therapy method, I studied and worked in counseling and held energy workshops for over 30 years. During that time, I began writing psychodrama enactment skits. Some of the skits became the stories in my illustrated Christmas book, Christmas Stories From the Crones Castle. To expand spiritual experiences, I participated in Ogalala Souix traditions, sweat lodge, vision quest, Fire Keeper and Sun Dancer, and wrote The Green Mountain Shaman and Red Leaf based on my experiences. My first novel, Emerald Hawks Flight, became a release from childhood memories. Emerald's coming of age story opened the door to more novels, children's books, and short stories. I use a wider spacing in my books, as it makes them easier to read. I am very grateful to my readers. They tell me that my stories are factual, funny, or romantic, intense, emotional, and contain magic. I have 3 grands and two great grands, and continue writing, for it is my bliss to do so.
