WE WILL REMEMBER PAULA ERVIN...
[As a Victorian home burns, Dennis Whitehead confronts his past. Though he never saw Sara again, she didn't forget their love-or his betrayal. As her house is demolished, watching with Dennis is the son he told Sara to abort.]
Paula Ervin began writing essays and sending them off to family magazines as a wife and mother of six children. Although her early efforts were rebuffed, she persevered and finally saw her essays appear in several publications. Eventually, she published a non-fiction book, Women Exploited: the Other Victims of Abortion. Her book was one of the earliest to detail the tragic symptoms and personal stories of post-abortion syndrome. Mentioned in the Will is her first work of fiction, where she has found delight. It was inspired by an article in an Illinois newspaper about a woman who left a will stating that the house she had lived in her whole life was to be burned to ashes upon her death. The burning of her home is the opening scene in Paula's book, Mentioned in the Will.
