Moon Willow Press announces a new novel by John Sands: The Lottery Winner

Oct. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- John Sands, an Indiana resident, shares the soul of Middle America with a ponderous yet subtly humorous style. With quiet wisdom he connects spiritual growth to the trials of mankind. His discernment of the human spirit, family relations, and traditional values generates a voice that is both poignant and restorative.

In The Lottery Winner, a man who is set in his ways and well prepared for his upcoming retirement, experiences an unexpected change in life when he wins a huge lottery. Rather than basking in enjoyment of the windfall, he turns inward and doesn’t tell a soul, not even his wife. During the six months he has to redeem the ticket, a series of events challenge him to reconsider the deeper purposes of his life and the source of true riches.
