Jenny’s Destiny

About the Book

Jenny's DESTINY

Banquet's flight 'neath summer's cloak,
There! Danger waits, he's beauty's host!

"How much Troy?" One statement misunderstood will send a young wife running out of her home on a rain soaked Seattle night, fulfilling a prophecy written hours before and thousands of miles away on an island in the Caribbean.
"I hit the ripe age of twenty-four..." Said through the slow lick of a chocolate and strawberry smudged finger. Even though he knows it is an act purposely done to distract him, Troy cannot take his eyes off that mouth or the long slender index finger.
For Jenny Kendricks it is a brash flirtation out of character initiated to save her friend Chelsea from the man who frightens her. Moods roil and tempers escalate ending with a desperate escape through a rain soaked garden.
One click of a gun in a flash of lightning reveals imminent danger triggering the next two lines of verse.

Four journeys now begin
Born of envy, Bequeathed thru sin.

Destiny will be the invisible force that pulls two lives apart in the attempt to bring two others together. Like a stone cast into a lake, one interaction at a banquet table sends out ripples to affect many lives. Some must learn to love, others the courage to trust, while one must find strength to survive.

About the Author

Evelyn Pilant Gaede, who writes under the pseudonym Jamee Pilant, published her first novel, Chelsea's Doom, at the age of forty-nine, in 2004. When she was repeatedly told by those who read the book "I wanted more!" "I did not want the story to end!" "What happened next?" she decided she wanted to know too.

And so began the long journey of Jenny's Destiny-fourteen years and one section of the story at a time. In the hope that the lives of the four main characters fulfill the hopes and expectations of those same readers, Evelyn (Jamee) wonders, "How am I going to fill my days?"

Fortunately, her daughter, Kelly Ellis Liss, had the answer ready. Start the third book, Shadow's Legacy. Evelyn is retired and lives in Northern Wisconsin with her husband, David, on a lake very much like the one in this story.
