Citi of Books is delighted to announce the publication of “Maplewood Hollow Mysteries: An Invitation to Mystery (Book 1)” by Deborah Sorena. This book is a heartwarming tale that is now available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retail sites.
Deborah’s love for gardens blossomed during her childhood, when she spent time running outdoors with her sister Sheila and visiting the Huntington Botanical Gardens. After getting married, Sheila studied the Bible with Deborah, leading her to a deep faith in Jesus. As a mother, Deborah developed a passion for storytelling, sharing classic tales like C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia with her children.
Eight years ago, Deborah and her husband, Carl, retired to Tennessee, where the landscape reminded them of England. They bought an older house on three wooded acres and created a miniature garden with 49 ferns, hostas, astilbes, Japanese maples, and charming figurines. They invited neighbors, grandchildren, and church members for tea parties, complete with music and stories. A hedgehog named Hedwig became a central character, inspiring Deborah to sketch and develop the enchanting world of Maplewood Hollow. This miniature garden, located on the north side of their house, is where Hedwig and his friends’ adventures come to life.
The charming children’s book, “Maplewood Hollow Mysteries: An Invitation to Mystery (Book 1),” set in a beautiful forest, follows a well-meaning hedgehog named Hedwig as he learns about friendship, forgiveness, and faith. Hedwig and his animal friends face relatable situations that teach valuable lessons. The story celebrates the importance of empathy and offers a unique perspective on overcoming challenges through faith. The author cleverly weaves biblical teachings into the plot, guiding young readers to make good choices. This first book in the series promises future adventures that explore life’s difficulties from a Christian viewpoint. Written in a classic style, the story connects with traditional favorites and aims to inspire kindness, perseverance, and spiritual development in young readers.
