Sharon's Song Dennis Bates

With a blizzard making all roads impassable, all Sharon Winston wants is for her brother to be safe. Sharing a prayer with a simple truck driver and a group of his friends at a truck stop, she gets an answer that is much more than she asks for. It involves her brother, the woman who finds him, dozens of local residents, the truck driver and Sharon herself. However, God's answer to that simple prayer reveals mysteries of the past mingled with miracles of the present and future in an hundred year old love song written just for her. All she has to do is listen to it play in her heart forever. Sharon's Song is just that; it's a love song with many contrasting verses and themes. The obvious is mysterious; mystery is obvious; beauty masks pain; pain exposes beauty; old creates new; new revisits old; and both live forever in a song that becomes human again even though its humanity was murdered a long time ago.
