The Papo Lady Elenir Nunes Morse

This is a journey of story telling. Once you begin to read you will feel impelled to continue. The Papo Lady is about belief and how we perceive our beliefs and what we make out of them. In the end, they will free us or enslave us. The story is set in a small town in the south of Brazil. I wanted to capture a naive mentality not spoiled by the media, as is the world we live in today. This is something I grew up with; simple people living everyday lives who find themselves faced with extraordinary situations that they don't really care to understand. A thirteen year-old-boy takes it upon himself to find out the truth. It is thrilling and suspenseful, his journey to find the truth. He comes out of it a changed boy and so are those who went along. My editor commented, 'I enjoyed your plot very much. You manage to keep the reader's interest sparked as to what will finally happen to all your characters. I had the feeling that your story was primarily about people, and you kept it a story of people in most interesting narrative style.'
