The book is based upon true events and gives witness to the potential power and freedom of forgiveness. Playing the doctor game and riding horses sounds like fun, until people do things to Alex that make her feel confused. Keeping these secrets stores up sadness and anger at those who were supposed to be her friends.

From childhood to adulthood, Alex’s thoughts and feelings are bigger than she can handle. With the help of a counselor and using her God-given imagination, she faces the ultimate choice of whether to forgive and let go of hatred. Or not.

Hall’s curiosity to discover the best way to live a joyful life motivated her to write “Bigger,” as she believes healing and wholeness are possible for all. As a gardener and a chaplain, she delights in nurturing plants and people — witnessing astonishing beauty in both.

Ten percent of “Bigger” sales will go to support KARE, Inc (Kids Advocacy Resource Effort) a child advocacy center serving children and their families in Haywood County.
