Book Cover & Preview Text
When I reached him I had to negotiate with him. However, I had adopted a policy of not negotiating with kids or terrorists (in my house often one in the same). So I told Aaron that I would take him back to gift shop and buy him the stuffed panda he wanted. We walked back up the path to the gift shop. Along the way Aaron grabbed my sunglasses and threw them in an area close to an animal enclosure. I retrieved the sunglasses without incident and we proceeded. But when I got to the exit I snatched Aaron up in my arms and ran out the gate. It almost looked like a kidnapping. Aaron didn’t know what hit him. One minute he was on his way to his prize, next he was being whisked away from the zoo. I got into my car and dragged him across the steering wheel into the passenger seat, careful to buckle him in tight.

Like a 'rose in the desert', there is hope in this book.

It is my turn to open the door. Some things revealed will be a surprise, some may not be. But it probably won't be what you would think. I hope you are ready to enter the door to my house!
