Mount Neverrest

About the Book

How do you feel when something you worked tirelessly to accomplish and are immensely proud of doesn’t last? Discouraged? Overwhelmed? Defeated? After a long day of household chores, Mary imagines the grand celebration honoring her victory over a dreaded foe: her laundry pile. Just as she begins reveling in the idea of the vast banquet and cheering crowds, her fantasy is interrupted by the sound of her mud-covered children trampling through the house leaving MORE dirty clothes to be washed. Disheartened and disappointed that this monstrous task will never be complete, Mary is confronted with the daunting duty of discovering the secret to defeat the demon of “Mount Neverrest.”
