New Novel Explores Oprah Winfrey's Inspirational Influence
The debut novel “My Oprah In Recreating the Legacy” by author Helen J. Collier explores how Oprah Winfrey can indirectly influence ones life.
Seattle, WA, February 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- At four o'clock in the evening telephone ringers are turned off. Do not disturb signs are hung from the doorknobs of homes all over America. With remotes in hand to prevent the accidental channel changes by spouses or TV addicted children, those who love Oprah Winfrey get ready for a relaxing evening in front of their television sets.
Mrs. Johnnie Bea is one of those women, but it is what she does with the other hours of her day that are important. Her story is one of history, change, legacies, beans, and a better future through community. Using her Oprah as inspiration she helps those around her to grow and continue the legacy that her father started. When an unexpected accident hospitalizes her, Mrs. Johnnie Bea's legacy is left up to the seven women she took under her wing.
Helen Collier says, “It's hard to imagine God in motion yet as we saw on November 4, 2008, the entire world stopped while God moved to make real a legacy that for centuries some have waited for while others have feared. In the blink of an eye the grand master transformed the world. It is as if a torch has been lit to burn away the old ways bringing forth a new order in the hearts of the people on this planet. The torch now lit no living soul can extinguish.” Ms. Collier believes God found in Barack Obama a humble servant with a caring heart that reached out to others and filled him with a spirit that has changed our world forever. It is the burning spirit of this torch and its legacy that lives in the heart of her character Mrs. Johnnie Bea Taylor an eighty year old woman who in the book “My Oprah In Recreating the Legacy,” lived her legacy through service, reaching out with compassion to those needing the flames from God’s torch to be lit in their hearts.
“My Oprah In Recreating the Legacy” is now for sale at all major online bookstores and at www.helenjcollier.com.
