Become submerged in a time and culture that is now obsolete. The Journey of Innocence is the true story of a young girl growing up in Lisbon, Portugal, who learns to obey her elders and not to question their decisions, and who dreams of one day coming to the USA. She also learns from her Aunt Heydee, who becomes her spiritual mentor and teacher, that she must make a life with what life has to offer.

Book I of Veronica's Adventures candidly covers the first eighteen years of young Veronica's life.

"A richly detailed account of people and places…in the mid '40s and the sweeping influences of Americana-rock 'n roll, movie stars, and plastic tablecloths…A delightful can't-put-it-down story!" ~Susan Rich, Marketing Business Writer and Editor, RichWriting
