Jurita's Song

Another captivating tale from the pen of master story-teller Vern Turner: From the desperate and suffocating poverty and hunger of the American dustbowl years to the grave difficulties of enduring World War II in a strange, but vibrant city on the West coast. Follow, and be entranced by the adventures of Jurita Collins as she navigates a cruel and difficult world. Admire her grit, strength, and capacity for love as she endures joy, heartbreak, great anxiety and, finally, triumph for herself and her son. Jurita also experiences horrific spousal abuse by a man she thought she knew and escapes with her son to be embraced, once again, by a family with whom she worked and became integral. Jurita's Song: From Dust to Destiny is not a lament. It is a ballad of the human spirit embodied in a strong female whose implacability is a powerful model for everyone to follow and live by.
