~ A note from my heart ~

26 years ago today (July 10), I met this guy: Tim O Driver.

​I was a single mother of one and at the point of suicide when I cried out to God to rescue me from this world. God picked me up from the gutter that was my life, set me back on my feet, dusted me off, and gave me back the desire to live... Days later, Tim walked through the door and I knew I would marry him one day. Our first date was in August... we were married the following April. 6 children (altogether) and 25 years of marriage later, here we are, still wondering what hit us. hehe ;)

​My husband. My best friend. My wrestling partner. :P The best Dad for all our kids. I kinda like him a lot... still. :) <3

Speaking of New Beginnings... that's where my novel "The Path Chosen" takes us:

The Path Chosen
by
Donna Keevers Driver

~*~

"When two Sydney-based women are forced to trade places, 157 years apart,
the last thing they expect to find is their heart's desire."

~*~

Excerpt from Chapter One:​

In a realm unrestricted by corporeal settings and seasons, two time zones collided, smashing into one another with a force far too powerful for the walls of man to stand against. With a thunderous explosion, they broke through established borders, the concentration of their combined strength slamming down upon creation, sending shock waves across the surface of the earth, pushing against the 1858 locomotive and the Sydney-bound train of 2015...

...and so begins a new life for our two heroines and their partners...

If there's one thing I've learned since crying out to God at a time when suicide called so loudly, it's that He loves new beginnings, and He's more than happy to help you get them.
