Burrowed on Long Island's North Shore is a small town of sandy beaches and heavenly charm. A hurricane of epic proportions pounds the coastline of Miller Place, but darkness doesn't scare beautiful, dark-eyed, and determined Violet Pearl Funk. There's light in her soul, ever since God became Lord of her life. Out of a nervous breakdown, a hidden artistic talent blossoms. Can she leave her tumultuous past of mental illness and the piercing memory of twenty shock treatments behind to find the beauty of today? Henry, Violet's husband, doesn't want anything to do with his wife's newfound faith. Their marriage could be in jeopardy if he gets a promotion out of town. Swiftly paced and delicate by turn, Missionary to the Oddballs is an emotional novel about healed relationships, divine intervention, and the restoration of things that seemed destroyed beyond repair. Based on a true story.
