Vashti Ataya, author of "MEMORIES, Chronicles of a Grateful Life," is delighted to present her Autobiographical Fiction series, "OVERCOMING, The Story of Verna Louise Williams." Books One through Four introduced Verna and her two young daughters, Veronica and Susanna. Those books followed Verna's journey from fleeing an abusive marriage in Tucson to settling in Orlando, enduring rigors of Welfare, an inexplicable, high-risk pregnancy, nursing school, success of becoming an OR Nurse, a heartbreaking loss of her girls via deceit, the nightmare of catatonia, and her second dismal marriage.
Book Five, the final book of the series, joins Verna as she and her new husband arrive in Seattle. It is in Seattle where Verna begins to really bloom and "the desires of her heart" are fulfilled. Triumphantly, Verna overcomes trials and tribulations through her deep Christian faith. Hers is a story of marvels, miracles, and dreams achieved. Her story is compelling and powerful. Her story is one of victory. Her story is a human one, not yet completed.
"Throughout her journey of challenges and victories, with strength found in love and faith, Verna finds joy...strong, attention-grabbing chapter titles...creative, well written...a powerful introduction...a strong connection with the reader...brilliant description and detail, creating beautiful imagery." - Salem Author Services

Описание: Queen Vashti of The Median Empire A picture is worth a thousand words: Indeed the cover picture of this book is explained below what Assyrian did to the forefather of today Kurds. Assyrian Relief - The deportation of the people after the capture of the Elamite City of Din Sharri - 645 BC or BCE (the women and Children). Assyrian Empire aggressions against the white Caucasian people or the Aryan people as the forefather of today Kurds and others went on for thousands of years. It took a long time before the coming of Median Empire. The white Caucasian or the Aryan people formed the Median Empire to stop Assyrian Empire aggressions. King Cyaxares (Kurdish: Kayxesraw) the Great united the white Caucasian or Aryan people to fight Assyrian Empire. In the Battle of Nineveh (612 BC or BCE) King Kayxesraw defeated the New Assyrian Empire for good. Today the 'Persian of Tamil, Black Arabs of Africa, and Mongol Turks of Mongolia' have been waging wars against the white Caucasian or Aryan people since the year of 522 BC or BCE with the help of Abrahamic religions Lords. Abdullah Ocalan united the white Caucasian or Aryan people to fight the occupiers of Kurdistan. The forces loyal to Abdullah Ocalan teaching will win these wars imposed on Kurdish people by the 'Persian of Tamil, Black Arabs of Africa, and Mongol Turks of Mongolia'. Also, the conflict between worshipers of the God HU and Lords of Dew (Devas) started thousands of years earlier. But in this book, it is safe to say the root of this kind of the Conspiracy goes back to Lord Krishna's Conspiracy of year 3100 BC or BCE. Lord Krishna as the Lord of Deva (Dew) religion used two groups of cousins, the Kauravas, and Pandavas against one another, for the throne of Hastinapura kingdom, which is also called Kuru kingdom of the white Caucasian people of today India as members of the Mitra and Aryan religions rulers. The Pandavas brothers win the Kurukshetra War and found out about Lord Krishna Conspiracy to use them against one another. The Pandavas brothers declared war on Lord Krishna and his Deva religions followers. Lord Krishna is the forefather of Hebrew Jewish people. The Jewish people are celebrating Purim (Purim) every year in memory of Queen Esther without understanding the derivation of the word 'Purim'. Based on Hamma Mirwaisi knowledge of ancient Hebrew terms including the word 'Purim' this novel will tell the life story of Queen Esther as never before. Since the era of an imaginary character by name of Moses whose Birth and the leader of Exodus 2, in 1486 BC or BCE, Moses Flees into Midian, Exodus 2:11, the Jewish people's histories and the start of writing Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) are under question now. It is clear in our lifetime that the 'Hebrew Bible (Tanakh)' was written under the guidance of the rabbinic committees without the existence of Abraham and Moses as the real persons.
