A White Crow

By Richelle Renae

Mac and Lisa are a young, recently engaged couple still working out the kinks of their new relationship and coming to terms with the challenges of living together in the big city. When Mac casually borrows the one item that Lisa attributes all her success to, both their lives are dramatically affected.
A White Crow explores the notion of luck and the dependency of relying on it for success. It is the first workbook published in the Read Write Ponder series, a collection of short stories constructed to engage readers, writers, and educators. Each novelette-sized book is comprised of a single short story, writing prompts to encourage creative writing, discussion questions for thoughtful analysis of characters and theme, and a letter from the author about her inspiration for the story and the techniques she used to write it.

Richelle Renae

Richelle grew up a latch-key kid in a small town in Michigan. The freedom of being parent-free gave her a myriad of ways to explore her environment. Her childhood home crouched on a small pond originally carved out of the Kalamazoo River to drive a grist mill built in the 1860s. Four distinct seasons in each of the 20 years spent in and on the pond and among its surrounding forests and marshes provided countless hours of playtime and has given her an appreciation for nature she could have never gotten from any classroom. That love of nature has snuck its way into nearly all of her writing.
