CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, February 1, 2024 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — In Goodlife, Mississippi, sits a world without end where Mary \u201cMyra\u201d Boone lives and writes about the throwaways, the downtrodden and the lonely souls \u2014 some dead, some alive \u2014 that surround her. And in Eileen Saint Lauren’s new book, My Neighbors, Goodlife, Mississippi<\/a>, readers are invited inside Myra\u2019s world, with a collection of 11 stories written by Myra herself, the main character in Saint Lauren\u2019s debut novel, Goodlife, Mississippi.<\/p>\n In My Neighbors, Goodlife, Mississippi, Myra visits her neighbors and discovers a deeper meaning for life through the guiding truth found in the spirit world and learns early on that suffering can purify the soul. Each encounter involves a grotesque character or a horrific and bizarre act of revenge in the name of God and twisted love. <\/p>\n Myra\u2019s neighbors, both Black and white, of the oppressive and often inhumane social climate of the 50s and 60s of Goodlife, Mississippi, knowingly and unknowingly seek retribution to exact some kind of justice for a severe injustice perpetrated upon them. Each story is too close to the truth of the era to be comfortable. Seen through the eyes of Myra Boone, they become life-shaping events.<\/p>\n Saint Lauren\u2019s work often takes the reader to a supernatural place \u2014 holy and unholy \u2014 that provokes the question: Is this Heaven or Hell? Whatever the reader deems true will suffice because My Neighbors, Goodlife, Mississippi is a mixture of both.<\/p>\n About the Author<\/p>\n Eileen Saint Lauren was born in Hattiesburg and raised in the once two red-light town, Petal, Mississippi.
