With vivacity and inspiration, Vickie Gatdula has completed her first book "Twilight's Child": a heart wrenching and insightful story, which follows the development of a first-generation German-American girl who embodies the bravery that was necessary in the era of the American pioneers.
Beginning with the end of her life, Twilight's Child makes sense of the blurred reflections of an older woman's soon to be forgotten past. The novel's main character, Emma, attempts to recall the events in her life which lead to her position as an elderly woman blessed with a loving family, surrounding her in her latter days.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Vickie Gatdula's poignant tale is a coming of age story about a girl whose maturation occurs simultaneously with her country's. As a teacher in rural Nineteenth Century America, Emma witnesses the transformation of her espoused nation as she comes to terms with the fact that she is now a woman.
Readers who wish to experience this heart-filled work can purchase Twilight's Child at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
