The Rock

Little D couldn't wait to get out of school to show her cousin Florence how the storm had made their swimming hole deep, wide, and beautiful. Once they arrived, however, she couldn't resist getting into the water. Little D was sucked in by a strong current and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach the bank. Swimming frantically, her fingers brushed up against a large rock and she held on tight. Both girls came to realize that something greater than the rock may have actually saved her life. Growing up in the Philippines, Dolores D. Bennett wrote articles about whatever inspired her to reflect or made her laugh. When she retired from teaching GED classes in 2019, she was scheduled to go to Spain as a missionary, but Covid-19 canceled her plans. While quarantined, however, she began writing her biography, His Hand on Me, which was published in 2020. In 2021, she published six children's books: The Big Black Feather, The Wise Hen, The Hen's Dream, Cutita & Vaquita, PupPup the Bully, and Stories of Boogie's Friends. In 2022, aside from The Rock, she plans to publish Spike and Spike, The Sky is So High, A Surprise Reward, and Mr.Williams and Nugget.
