The Noah Confessions



By: Barbara Hall

Does the author's name sound familiar? For all those fans of Joan of Arcadia and other TV shows written and produced by Barbara Hall, this book is for you! After receiving a less than exciting birthday present from her dad, Lynnie Russo ditches school and spends the day surfing with one of her free-spirited classmates. After her father learns what Lynnie has done, he presents her with a manuscript. "The Noah Confessions" is a combination memoir, love letter, and confession written by Lynnie's deceased mother, that reveals the kind of person her mother really was, the significance of her birthday present, and helps develop her understanding of why her father clings to her mother's memory. The Noah Confessions is an inspirational tale about how circumstances, choices, and sacrifices can shape lives and how events that occurred long ago can reverberate into the future.
