The Edge of the Unseen World

Sometimes, what we can’t see… transforms us. For nine-year-old Wendy Slattery, the world was a big place that had no interest in fulfilling her dreams. Growing up on a farm in the 1960’s meant absorbing the rhetoric that women don’t become doctors. Instead, Wendy abandoned her medical ambitions and turned her dreaming to imaginary stories. Follow along with Wendy’s remarkable journey of resilience and faith that took her from the imaginary to the impossible.

Quotes from my readers

Bee

You will laugh, cry, hold your breath in suspense, and shout in relief and joy while reading this book. The honesty of the writing touched so many chords within me. Getting past the “why me” and placing trust in God is a journey, and facing what should be a terminal illness makes the journey even more intense.
