Melek often heard people say, it's never too late to try a new skill. When it was least expected, Melek heard of a Writers group starting in her area she was eager to join. For years Melek has wanted to write but never had the opportunity until now. This is her first novel of a time long ago. \"This story shows the heartaches of the time and place and how families intertwine through circumstances you could never imagine but held together by love. Three friends out for an adventurous journey bring back treasures. Little did they know what difference their finds would make to the lives of those in their own families and their community.\" | When Life Stood Still by Melek Melek, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
