About the Book
TBOK:PCD narrative style novelette
A modern tale, of a modern woman, told in a modern way, for our modern times.From book... chapter 4...
... was life just indeed a collection of mediocre days with some random happy times. Was life irreparable and tainted with misspent youth bad reputation children might have had, or redeemable with age and wisdom acquired? What then was the sum of that life - if like the Egyptians believed at time of weighing by Osiris could be lighter than a feather; in order to pass into the afterlife; or too tainted and weighed down by those earlier transgressions?
... in the "math" of life so-to-speak were "good deeds and good days" perhaps worth a larger value in the overall equation getting to that balance-sheet sum-total? The day to day, a butterfly effect, the small smiles shown to another that made their day better. Perhaps maybe even saved a life whose life then went on to produce another; through a child; who then goes on to cure cancer. What role then did that small seemingly insignificant smile ... as it seemed at the time play in that role of another one day curing cancer. How many "points" might that tender toward afterlife admittance and what "score" does one have to achieve? ...
Note...
TBOK contains not one dialogue line. Important to say because a reviewer of my “TERROR STRIKES: COMING SOON TO A CITY NEAR YOU” novel once wrote: "didn't think there was enough dialogue." I'd never given (written, nor oral, hint) book promised to be dialogue laden book. While having some dialogue it is heavy narrative style - this is entirely in narration vs Plato's Dialogues, Roth's "Deception," Steinbeck's "The Grapes Of Wrath," known extensively dialogue [courtesy of asking Google for that answer].

The Book Of Kennedy by Joseph M. Lenard takes a deep look into the mind of Kennedy (also known as Ken). It shows her life as she dealt with heartbreak, learned about herself, found faith, and started a new chapter in life. After Ken ended her relationship with Jim, she started a new one with her boyfriend, George. She and George move into an apartment with two other roommates, Kim and Stan. This big change makes Ken start thinking about deep topics. She reflects on who she is, what life means, how important faith is, and the value of life. Her story teaches lessons about hope, kindness, and the things that matter most in life.
This book was indeed a great read. What I loved most was how it followed a unique self-reflective approach...

"Carpe diem" means "seize the day." That is what Joseph M. Lenard teaches us in his new book, The Book of Kennedy: Project Carpe Diem.
Kennedy is a woman trying to explore life's meaning and her purpose. I believe that this is what we are all searching for.
"What will be the sum measure of your life, and will you focus on the positive or dwell on the negatives." I found this quote to be touching for my life, and I believe it sums up the book very well....
