"Beyond Ikenick Creek": a realistic and powerful story of a young man thought to be a lost cause, until he learns about trust, faith, and divine grace. "Beyond Ikenick Creek" is the creation of published author, register nurse and gifted storyteller, Tracey Mayfield.
Mrs. Mayfield shares that her book began as an effort to encourage her children to read more. She says, "...it became an opportunity to reach out to people searching for meaning and purpose. Encouraging people, especially the youth, to make good choices is an investment in the future. Teaching them about Christianity is an investment in their eternity."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Tracey Mayfield's new book revolves around sixteen-year-old Eli Parker, who is in trouble with the law, again. Raised by a single mother and plagued by a tragic past, all hope seems to be lost. With his crimes getting progressively worse, it is now up to Judge Mosaron to turn Eli's life around. He sentences Eli to New Beginnings Camp for Troubled Youth for the remainder of the summer. Located just beyond Ikenick Creek, near the McKenzie River, this camp will change Eli in ways he never expects.
Through a series of team-building activities and near-death mishaps, Eli learns about trust, forgiveness, and God's grace. He also discovers the campers have more in common than he initially thought.
