A Little About Mary Baker and The Eye of the Tiger:
Mary Baker is bullied by a mother who hates her and her motherâs boyfriend is a redneck plumber with a big gut. Itâs only the mysterious happenings that keep her life fun and interesting. Like the anonymous gifts that come in the mail or the flocks of black birds that follow her. Then one day, a death and a mysterious, magical stone with symbols on it, called The Eye of the Tiger, bring her great wealth and a new life attending a school of white magic.
About the Author:
D.M. Cherubim was born in Duluth, Minnesota, a twin city on the shores of the mighty Lake Superior. Cherubim was an award-winning political, government and environmental journalist for two decades. Cherubim’s stories ranged from interviews with U.S. presidents to Disneyland tourists dressed like Mickey Mouse. In 2003, she became very ill and quit feeding the newspaper beast. In 2005, after “redlining” in a hospital bed, she had an experience of God in a bright light. When she returned to her body, she felt a new purpose for being here. Doctors at the time gave Cherubim less than three months to live. Since then, Cherubim has had a miraculous recovery. Cherubim has been working on her books from some of the most inspiring and spiritual places in the world, including southern California, Hawaii, and now, south Florida.
Some Praise for Mary Baker and The Eye of the Tiger:
“Magic, some religion, and gratitude to a higher power are what make the story rare and intriguing. I feel that D.M. Cherubim writes about Mary’s unfortunate abuse situation in such a straightforward manner that it genuinely grasps the reader’s attention… although the character of Mary Baker is fictional, she could be any child, anywhere in U.S.A. …I am sure “Mary Baker and the Eye of the Tiger” is a great book to read for children, preteens as well as young adults and even adults.” – Sylvia
“In a breezy writing style, Cherubim brings readers into Mary Baker’s universe where a bright cockatoo named Busby steals expensive jewelry, and there’s a magical stone, the Tiger’s Eye, that can make its owner wealthy beyond imagination.” –Michael Thal
“I throughly enjoyed reading Mary Baker and the Eye of the Tiger. There’s something about this book that is just magical. Granted, it is about magic, but it is so much more than that. This book grabs you the instant you begin reading it, and takes you for a fun ride! Read it. You won’t regret it.” –Michael Hall
