Multiculturalism is a big theme in education these days but when I was teaching in an inner city elementary school we did not have to stretch to find diversity. My students spoke 13 different languages and came from more countries. So, as you can imagine, the classroom anecdotes in the Pastor's Ex-Wife are totally based on what happened when I taught music and reading. The identities of the kids have been changed but the stories are all true.
You can read Pastor's Ex-Wife by Lesley Barker on the Kindle. If you don't own a kindle, you can download the kindle ap for free to your computer desktop or smart phone and then you can buy the book in the Amazon Kindle Store here.
Stories are my passion - especially when they provoke the confrontation of authentic faith in dysfunctional families. They also have to show honor, be redemptive of lost or untold stories, produce transformation and illustrate wisdom. Usually they also address historical issues of race in America. But they start in the heart and come out the pen weaving and leaving memories that remain long after the pages are shut.
About Me

Expect surprises to come from her pen.
