An Unforgettable Day reflects a family's emotional rollercoaster day after a massive snowstorm unexpectedly shuts down the local school. The read becomes an excellent teaching moment for parents concerning their child's safety and the importance of good communication. Excitement accelerates as Lang's two young daughters, Patti and Tresie, quickly develop a plan with friends to build a snow fort on the golf course across the street. Their goal was for No One to EVER find their castle, including their mother, as they were unwilling to give up their secret. However, their dream turns into a disaster as the fort collapses and buries the four children. Not only was the tunnel filled with snow, but the entire room, as well. Facing life and death danger, Patti takes command by trying to calm the kids. "Try not to cry, or panic, we have to conserve air. I'm sure when we don't show up for lunch, mom will come and find us." Patti prayed, but inside she was frightened to death and knew her mother had no idea of where to look. The four children pushed and pushed on the hard snow, but to no avail as their fright turned into terror. Almost as a premonition, panic set in Mrs. Lang's mind when the children failed to show for lunch. Immediately she sent her eldest daughter, Julie to search for the missing children, but in a short time returned without them. Now, fearful she immediately calls Mr. Lang, their son, Thad, and Danny's mothers to alert them. Soon, the entire neighborhood became involved by forming a search party. After successive attempts to find the missing children, FEAR becomes paramount as a feeling of hopelessness spreads throughout. As an ACT from God, the family dog, Casey, shows up and began searching for her favorite cushion that Tresie had taken from their home to use in the fort. Casey becomes the HERO by saving the children on this Unforgettable Day. CASEY had quickly changed the search party's emotions from FEAR and HOPELESSNESS to HOPE and LOVE by creating the possibilities of "Good things happening." What a DAY! Throughout, the children's book, An Unforgettable Day, the narrative of family love, teamwork, and especially the Lang's adorable dog, Casey, resonates with an array of emotions.
Autorenporträt
"Recently, we discovered an old box of manuscripts and poems that I had created when enrolled in a wonderful Children's Book writing class back in the 1970s. My husband was the Head Football Coach at Alma College and I coached the Cheerleading Team. Unfortunately, the many narratives penned were in longhand or typed on an old fashion typewriter, but after reviewing them and converting to workable documents, I decided to publish my first Children's novel, An Unforgettable Day." As a wife of a college football coach, my daily activities called for multitasking while raising four children, attending home and away games on Fall Saturdays, assisting Phil while recruiting and entertaining prospective student/athletes and their parents, hosting open houses for recruits and parents, college professors, and staff members after many home football and basketball games, and taking care of our families basic needs, my duties became a full-time job. After our children reached middle and high school age and capable of working, we opened a sports store that I operated in downtown Alma called the Action Corner, one of Nike Inc.'s first family dealerships in Michigan. In 1991, we headed to Ann Arbor where Phil worked as an assistant football coach at Eastern Michigan University. In 1992, we moved near Lake Michigan between Benton Harbor and St. Joseph, close to a beautiful place we visited many years earlier. Phil accepted the head football and track coaching positions, as well as the principalship at Lake Michigan Catholic High School, with my encouragement, where he enjoyed building successful relationships with parents, staff and young people. However, our lives slowed in 2005 when Phil officially retired after I had assisted him for nearly 50 years as a football coaches' wife. My joys and blessings include; Phil, four children, eight grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren, my faith, and many good friends at Tosi's Café in St. Joseph. Since graduating from a professional college, and heavily involved in various school and community activities, during my downtime, I became an avid reader and lover of fiction while collecting a thousand plus novels written by the likes of James Patterson, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, John Sanford, Agatha Christie, and many others.
