Book Cover & Preview Text
Ellen was driving alone to her in-law’s house to prepare for a surprise birthday party for Porshia. During the eight-hour drive, Ellen thought she would relax her mind because she had been stressed preparing this party. It’ll be worth all the work, when I see the look on Porshia’s beautiful face when everyone yells “Surprise!” Ellen thought.
After driving for a few hours, Ellen began nodding off at the wheel. One time when she nodded off, she was awakened as the car began to spin out of control as she drove through a large puddle. Ellen tried to regain control, but the car tumbled and flipped over and went down a big hill into a wooded area. The front of the car slammed into a tree.
(Ellen never liked the taut feeling of a seatbelt across her body, and opted to be seatbelt-free during this trip. She was glad to be travelling alone, so she wouldn’t have to endure another “seatbelts saves lives” speech.)
Ellen’s body was tossed about during the turbulence. Without her seatbelt on, Ellen’s head hit the windshield, knocking her unconscious as her car caught on fire….

About the Book
Clean Slate is the account of one woman's plight after a miraculous rescue from death, which saves her life in more ways than one.
This story portrays a preacher's kid who went astray and started living her life contrary to all she learned from her parents. She ran away from home at the age of sixteen, in pursuit of immoral living and unnatural desires. Twenty years later, her memories were erased after an accident, and her life began again with a clean slate.
She lived with amnesia for two years, unaware of the sins from her past that she must face one day. When her memory returns, will she continue her new life with her slate wiped clean of her past, or will she revert to her former life and resume a marriage spawned by the Devil himself?
