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
- Lesley
- I have discovered that walking a very narrow path leads to broad places of peace, contentment, and provision. After an eclectic career of nonprofit leadership, museums, education and social services, Dr. Lesley Barker is transitioning to retirement devoted to full time writing. Expect surprises to come from her pen.

Talley Ho!
There's a new writer's club in town that meets twice a month hosted by our museum so I attend every meeting. The first monthly meeting is for critiques. The second monthly meeting is for practice - where each of us brings a five minute writing challenge. Last week was for critiques so I read the first section of the first chapter of Stuck in the Mud and asked the others whether what they heard would make them want to keep reading. It did. The best thing about this is that it is motivating me to keep writing. Talley Ho!
