Synopsis

Winner of Silver Medal in the 2019 Nautilus Book Awards. High school sweethearts Dan and Jenny Stults were living their happily ever after. They had a beautiful daughter and dreams of more children. Their life was ripped apart in January of 2015, when 36 year old Dan died suddenly, leaving Jenny and their 7 year old daughter to carry on alone. Despite unfathomable grief, they endured. Jenny recounts the story of this nearly impossible task in her memoir about true love, sudden death, and penetrating grief. Comments from a Judge, 27th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards:Powerful opening draws the reader into the story. Author has bravely provided a strong visual to grab us and super-charge our emotions, and thus we’re more attuned to the beautifully-shared details of the couple’s connection. We can see Dan light up when he would talk about Jenny. We can feel that safe feeling that dawns when Dan came home. Author demonstrates great strength in generously sharing with us the keys and gems of their relationship, which gives all the heart to their love story. Well done. Author creates great depth in the narrative. Dan’s early seizures were recounted to us with well-chosen degree of description. We get the feeling that this is as far as the author can go with those events, whether we’re correct or not. The facts of those seizures are handled smoothly, with a touch of disconnect seeming to be there. Excellent instincts. When you get the reader to assume a ‘creators mindset’ on what the author must have been thinking, you’ve created a truly experiential story. The stages of grief swirl around the author, a dance of coping and strength blooming. Author has done a nice job of creating setting and using sensory details to allow reader to be present and engaged. Dialogue shines throughout, and as such, pace is natural without any rushing or forcing. We’re taking in the story of a friend, in a relatable and friendly writing voice, engaged from page to page, hooked by excellent chapter transitions, and feeling a range of emotions from start to finish. Well done.CARRY ON CASTLE by Jennifer Stults describes a woman’s grief as she is suddenly widowed and becomes a single mother. Anyone experiencing grief or knows someone struggling with loss will benefit from reading this account. Some people question how God can allow bad things to happen to good people. The author, a woman of faith, is a perfect example of a terrible event happening to a good person. The reader is encouraged and inspired by the author’s spirit and attitude. The author’s honesty is appreciated, as she doesn’t deny struggling with the Lord. Since her church community offered a tremendous amount of love and support, CARRY ON CASTLE will inspire readers to contemplate how they can show compassion to the grieving. This valuable takeaway alone makes this work a worthwhile read.The front cover is gorgeous. The back cover copy is excellent, as is the author bio. The reader wants to know the lovely, smiling woman in the photograph. This is a story of human trials and living beyond unearned and undeserved grief, so CARRY ON CASTLE will touch the hearts and minds of readers everywhere. Thank you, Jennifer Stults, for sharing your journey.
