ABOUT THE BOOK
Inherited Treasures Book 1
Inspired by true events Hazel Cunningham was born to faithful, loving parents in Kalamazoo, Michigan in December, 1889. She had a severe curvature of her spine and one shortened leg, and there was some talk about why the Lord had allowed that to happen – or whether it was a curse. But Hazel saw no reason why she should be constrained by anyone’s expectations, though the taunts from others were distressing. “Midget.” “Cripple.” “Willful.” Stubborn.” She had also heard “Brilliant.” “Inspired.” and “Brava!” She adored applause, and she lived for it. Hazel yearned to be an independent, modern woman, and her opportunity came when she was sent away to Mineral Wells Texas to be “cured” of her congenital ailments. There she met Mildred Witherspoon, a generous new friend and confidante; JB Parker, a movie theater owner and mentor; Maria de Jesus, a suffragist; and Charlie Roberts, an awkward fireman nearly two decades older and two feet taller, who fell head-over heels in love with her. She was about to break all the rules with their help.

WHAT READERS SAY
★★★★★
This story is told with a forthrightness and honesty that kept me captivated from start to finish! The author dove deep into history that informed me and helped me understand how and why Hazel was such a standout in her time. It also provided perspective of how Charlie really needed to be his own man to avoid the prevailing prejudices of his generation. Finally, this is a love story that needed to be told, and truly emulated today; loving someone for who they are. Can’t wait to read the next one!
★★★★★
I just finished reading ‘Becoming Hazel’ and I thoroughly enjoyed it! My only complaint is that it ended. I’m glad this is a trilogy and there is another book coming because I can’t wait to read it. Hazel’s development and confidence are a triumph in this timeframe and she consistently proves herself again and again. She is a true performer and plays her piano at a level most people don’t often get to hear. The story is so well told I have to keep reminding myself that it’s a true story! I will definitely read the next book as soon as it is available! But don’t wait for it! Read ‘Becoming Hazel’ now!
