“Where Sheep May Safely Graze” by Phyllis Staton Campbell

Author Phyllis Staton Campbell launches inspirational book “Where Sheep May Safely Graze,” a story of faith and courage. It tells the story of Jim, blinded while serving as chaplain in Iraq, and his wife, Amy.

The book unravels the young couple’s journey as they adjust to married life, Jim’s blindness, and complications brought on by the interference of his wealthy, possessive mother.

In creating characters, Campbell, who was born blind, calls on her experience as teacher of the blind, peer counselor, and youth transition coordinator. She says that she lives the lives of her characters: lives of sorrow and joy; triumph and failure; hope and despair. That she and her characters sometimes see the world in a different way adds depth to the story.

“I feel that in some ways my blindness has been an asset to me in my journey as a writer. Through necessity, the blind must hone the power of observation, which is invaluable for a writer. My blind characters because they are different often intrigue the reader,” Campbell shares.

The book will be featured on the biggest book events in North America, BookExpo America and BookCon 2018 on May 31-Jun 3, 2018 at Javits Center, NY.
