It is always a pleasure to introduce to you brand new to me authors, especially a fellow Pelican Book Group author, so please welcome Carol Raj to our spotlight with her book, The Curious Prayer Life of Muriel Smith.
One unlocked car door, one glance to the left, and suddenly seventy-one
year old Muriel Smith is hurtling down the road at an alarming thirty miles per
hour.
Will the teenage boy who carjacked her really shoot to kill?
Muriel can’t die yet. Not till she’s accomplished something on earth.
Not till she’s seen her great grandchild.
But if Muriel Smith’s survival
depends on her driving skills, she may not live much longer.
How could God have gotten everything so wrong?
signal on. What’s the matter with you?"
The ramp was only feet away. Muriel took a deep
breath and stepped hard on the gas pedal. She zoomed

"What? You didn’t even try to turn!" Kevin’s head swiveled as the entrance ramp disappeared.
"I did try to turn, Kevin. Honest. I tried really hard. I just couldn’t do it. I told you. I don’t merge. It scares me."
Kevin’s voice went up half an octave. "Merging scares you more than my gun? Are you crazy? Didn’t I tell you I’d shoot? You can’t just say you don’t merge.You have to do what I say. That’s how it’s supposed to work."
