Author Roslyn Franken speaks at Community Congregational Church UCC in stand against racism

SPRING HILL, Fla. - Sept. 28, 2021 - PRLog -- On September 17, 2021, the Community Congregational Church UCC Women's Fellowship in New Port Richey, Florida, hosted a special event featuring inspirational guest speaker Roslyn Franken, Spring Hill author of MEANT TO BE. The presentation was followed by a question and answer period and book signing with Roslyn.

Roslyn presented the inspiring true saga of her parents' amazing survival, love and triumph over tragedy as Holocaust and atomic bomb survivors as told in her book, MEANT TO BE: A TRUE STORY OF MIGHT, MIRACLES AND TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT. This story of two teenagers held captive on opposite sides of the world during WWII who must survive unimaginable hardships and cruelty to eventually meet, marry and make a beautiful life against all odds encouraged attendees with messages of hope and humanity that support the Community Congregational Church's anti-racism statement proudly displayed on their website as follows:

"As Christians, we are taught and led every day by Jesus. Racism is the opposite of what God intends for humanity. Racism is a sin against our fellow human beings, for it says that some people are less than others. We are ready to show up with open eyes, open hearts, and open minds to be instruments of the transformation for justice and healing. Community Congregational Church, United Church of Christ is committed to stand against, speak against and work against racism."

The event organizer, Anne McNamara, said, "After reading Roslyn's book, MEANT TO BE, I knew we had to have her speak at our Church. Everyone was impressed with how Roslyn took a very bad part of history and showed us all real triumph of spirit and true miracles. We all should take the story of her parents and incorporate it into our own lives. I highly recommend Roslyn Franken to any Church or other organization that wants to hear an amazing story by a wonderful speaker."

As the daughter of these two heroic WWII survivors, author Roslyn Franken also revealed the life lessons she learned from her parents that people of all ages, races and religions can learn from to help better their own lives and help make our world a better place.

Roslyn's parents' story was the subject of a Gemini award-nominated CBC television documentary and her book, MEANT TO BE, is being made into a feature film currently in development.

Roslyn's book is available on Amazon and other online book retailers. It is also available directly from her website at www.RoslynFranken.com.
