| Publisher Description: Wink is a suspenseful and action-packed story that follows journalism student Angie Clarke's as she investigates some mysterious and supernatural events, which lead her to realize her destiny. Author Shawn Fennell invites readers to share her poignant journey as some very special "helpers" offer guidance on what turns out to be a very bumpy road with unexpected twist and turns. After overcoming many obstacles, Angie learns some new life lessons and evolves from being a sympathizer to an empathizer-qualities she soon realizes are worlds apart. A truly inspirational work of fiction that has spiritual overtones, Wink is guaranteed to appeal to readers of all ages. A story of one girl's discovery, it celebrates faith, hope, love, understanding, courage and, in the end, awareness. Fennell's goal is to effectuate change in how we as a society support those children and their families that are stricken with life threatening illnesses or living with a disability-to create a conduit, a symbol of support that is recognized as, "Hey...I get you, I understand." What inspired Fennell to write his book? "My own childhood experience as a disabled child," he says, "and the recent experiences I've personally had with these courageous children and their families. I want to celebrate their inspirational example to help make this community more relevant, and not make them feel invisible in public. My intent was to entertain the reader, to create a suspenseful, mysterious, and believable story, yet seamlessly impart my message of awareness." He adds that his business experience has provided him with the skills and tools essential for creating and growing the Wink brand. Recently published, his book is one part in an overall awareness campaign that includes the Wink documentary, the website wink2support.com, the Wink logo, the Wink YouTube channel, and the Wink Facebook page. |
