Remembering the Rhythm
What’s more beautiful about The Book of Laural is the inspiration behind it.
The story begins with author Jennifer Davis Deckert. A musician and teacher living in Carlsbad, California, she always loved running on the beach every morning to connect with nature. She played the drums with her sister, Laural, and brother-in-law, Johnny Corcoran, in the band Hydroplane. The duo did so for two decades.
Jennifer was devastat by the untimely death of her beloved sister, Laural, on Christmas 2021. Jennifer channeled her grief through her writing as she was inspired to write about her sister as an eternal soul who is born and reborn into many different forms. She keeps Laural alive through her magical adventures in the book. Jennifer was able to work through the unbearable grief of losing her sister and best friend and wishes to uplift others in their experience with loss.
An Ode to Life
The Book of Laural is more than just a story; it is an ode to life and the journey after death. For all those who have lost someone dear to them, the adventures of Jaja and Laural provide a sense of hope that their loved ones have passed on, embarking on their new journey. The writing feels personal and straight from the heart. Jennifer does an impeccable job of translating her and her sister’s love for music through the pages.
For all those who appreciate the symphonies the universe has to offer and the mystery of connections you make along the way, The Book of Laural is the perfect read for you.
The book begins with a befitting quote that sets the story’s tone.
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It simply changes states.”
One thing is for sure: the energy radiating from Jennifer’s book is healing hearts as we speak.
The Book of Laural is now available on Amazon.
