Colony

A modern adventure/fairytale. 272 pages, approx. 84000 words. A surreal story which entangles innocent love with the almighty industry of God. In 1971 fourteen year old Peter beats up the bullies, again. He is in big trouble, again. So his long-lost uncle takes Peter and his crippled eight year old sister away to a new life on the mining colony of New Bury. There they discover life. They also discover death, devotion, belief and absolute love. And as Peter discovers God, God discovers her missing link; human emotion. As the Creator pines for her wandering Mother, she finds herself back in the classroom, and Peter, her unsuspecting teacher, must rekindle Gods love for her suffering children. Although not part of a series, the story of Colony is closely related to the stories told in Saint Ninah and Satvinders Story.
