White Bird Publications Announces the Upcoming Release of "Original Cyn" by Sylvia Dickey SmithBy: SYLVIA DICKEY SMITH Novelist Sylvia Dickey Smith delivers an unforgettable story about secrets, self-discovery, choices, consequences, fear and faith in her latest novel, Original Cyn. About Original Cyn: Protagonist Cynthia Carter's life appears perfect-but for the fact that she and her husband, The Reverend Wilburn Carter, are controlled by fear. Cynthia is afraid she'll displease Wilburn and if not him, his parishioners. But her biggest fear is the emptiness swelling inside her. In the pulpit, Wilburn is the hero: God's right hand, the messenger, the revered Reverend. At home, however, is a different story: he's cold, controlling, selfish and self-consumed. Every Sunday, Wilburn stands at the podium and worries which parishioner might stab him in the back. But his deepest, darkest fear is that people will discover he's a phony. As Cynthia drowns in her lack of identity beyond what's assigned by her preacher-husband, she wonders if she should stay in the relationship. Could there be more to life than just being the Pastor's wife? Before she can decide, events force her to flee. If she goes far enough fast enough, those back home will have to deal with the chaos they created-deal with it or go to hell in their sanctimonious handbaskets. Until a phone conversation leaves her with even more difficult choices… A powerful, thoughtful, and thought-provoking story, Original Cyn is extraordinary.
