Kim Braley of Mechanicsville says a dream inspired her to write her first book, “The ABCs to Live a Happy, Healthy, Christian Life from the Bible,” which is aimed at children ages 4-8.
Braley breaks down the alphabet (“H is for Hope”) in the hope of leading children “into correct behavior. … It will lead to a better life.”
She said that once she got the idea, she wrote the book in about six weeks. It is published by Christian Faith Publishing of Pennsylvania, sells for $15.95 and is available through Amazon.com and at Barnes & Noble, she said.
