Jim Gable Releases New Novel OLLIE

In "Ollie" (published by iUniverse), author Jim Gable's new novel, readers see a mother's unyielding spirit as she recovers from a brutal accident that left her body broken and weak.

"Every once in a while you read about hardships such as financial and health problems that crush people's dreams," says Gable. "This story just happens to be one of those."

One uneventful day, the book's title character Ollie finds herself at the mercy of her Lord and Savior. She has just been in a horrific accident that has left her mortal body broken and scarred for life. As she begins the recovery process, she relies on her faith in God and her love for Bill, her husband, to help her rise above her predicament. "Her determination and her faith in God should inspire us all," states Gable.

An excerpt from the book:

"Paul sat down on the porch close to Ollie. It seemed hard for him to start talking to her, but finally he said, 'Ollie, when I heard the news at church about your accident, I cried for hours. I've prayed for you every day. I thought how hard it would be, if it were my Inez going through what you have been through. I couldn't help, but cry and pray.'"
