Sprinkles on the Gruel

About the Book

Anna was raised in an orphanage. One day when she was dumping the disgusting toilet bucket, she heard a voice say, “LOOK FOR THE SPRINLKES.” Looking around, however, there was no one there. On her way back down the hill she fell and got some of the terrible smelling gunk on her dress. In an attempt to wash off the foul smelling liquid in a nearby river, she almost drowned. The adventure that followed would change not only her life, but the lives of everyone in the orphanage along with the lives of everyone they met.

About the Author

I am a seventy five year old grandfather. This is my first attempt at writing and publishing a book. My wife and I were riding in the car and we were talking about things we did not like to eat. I mentioned that I hated mush. She then said, “Maybe if you put some sprinkles on it, you might like it.” I said, “Sprinkles on the Gruel, hum, that sounds like the name of a book.” My wife then said, “Then why don’t you write it?” So I accepted the challenge and wrote the book mainly for my children and grandchildren, however, many people who read the book encouraged me to publish it. So, here we go; let’s see what happens.
