Behind the Story with Olivia Talbott
Olivia Talbott is a word-addicted author who has a BA in Creative Writing and English. Her debut novel, A Boy named Rindy is a historical fiction based on the true story of a survivor of the Cambodian genocide, who finds redemption. Her passion is telling stories that the world needs to hear: stories based on actual events where Jesus intersects the narrative.
Outside of reading and writing she enjoys gardening, farm life, homeschooling and co-running a tee-shirt printing company. Her life is wrapped around her three children and an incredibly supportive husband named Steven, all who reside on a small farm in central Kentucky. Scribbled between the lines of her life is the constant love of God, which breathes beauty and purpose into the otherwise mundane. If you’re interested in learning more, her website can be accessed here: oliviatalbott.com

    This book sounds amazing. I wouldn't even know where to begin to find all the historical information the author was talking about. I don't know if it is cliche or nerdy, but when I think of strong characters I think of Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of the rings. All the other characters underwstimate the hobbits based on appearance and the author gives Sam a drawl the other hobbits don't have. Even with this bumpkin persona, Sam is loyal beyond belief and the story would end quite differently without him in it.

    I would say that my most memorable “strong” character would be Mahlah in Lioness:Mahlah’s Journey She has to go before Moses and ask for inheritance rights for herself and her sisters. After they are given those, Mahalah and her sisters have to travel to the promised land “manless” ..it’s a wonderful story by Barbara Briton.

    Midpoint?: wow, this really made me stop and think. When you were blessed to grow up in the church, you have heard the Genesis stories from a very young age and sometimes forget to go back and reevaluate. I think the first family would have been plagued with constant guilt and grief, especially Adam and Eve. The "what if?" Questions for them would habe been emotionally crushing. I find it much easier to not know what I am missing than to experience something great and want that feeling again. I also feel like Adam and Eve's children would have to deal with there parents constantly wanting to reurn to something that can never again be.
