What do Eleanor Roosevelt, Big Bangs and Chrisom the moms have in common？Find out in this tale of 2 soul sisters on the last search！

Recent reviews of Chris Anthem by Mona Telor state, “It’s hard to describe a book 1ike this one, it is an inspiring and encouraging story of survival, struggle, change, friendship, love and, basically, life. The relationship between Mona and Chris is one that I think most people can relate to on some level, and I think everyone has someone in their life who inspires them to be who they are. The development of the characters and the journey they take together through some of life’s hardest lessons are so beautifully written that you find yourself wrapped up in their world, and searching for them to overcome hardships and not lose sight of who they are. I highly recommend this book to anyone，especially if you need a little lift, and need to feel a bit better about the world!”

“I swallow Mona’s tale in a short time and didn’t want the story to end — a continuation someday perhaps?”

“Chris-Antem is a delightful story which offers much inspiration. Telor writes beautifully—I 1ove the back grounding of each scene. I can just smell the coffee, taste the wine and see the moms every time they are mentioned. It’s a descriptive，word-picture type of writing that reminds me of Agarba Christie without the British accent！The story deals with the very sensitive subject of bad habits in fami1y but does it in a way that shows love, pity and hope. In the world we live in today，this kind of writing is refreshingly welcome and uplifting.”

   A poor chimney-sweeper, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, and remained regaling his nose with the smell of the victuals．The master of the shop told him several times to go away, but the sweeper could not leave savory smell, though unable to purchase the taste of the food．At last the cook came out of the shop, and taking hold of the sweeper, declared that, as he had been feeding upon the smell of his victuals (food and drink), he should not go away without paying half the price of a dinner．The poor fellow said that he neither could nor would pay, and that he would ask the first person who should pass, whether it was not an unreasonable and unjust demand．

    The case was referred to a policeman, who happened to pass at that moment．He said to the sweeper: “As you have been feasting one of your senses with the odor (smell) of this man’s meat, it is but just you should make him some recompense; therefore you shall, in your turn, regale (amuse) one of his senses, which seems to be more insatiable than your appetite．How much money have you?”

    “I have but two pence in all the world, sir, and I must buy me some bread．”

“Never mind,” answered the officer, “take your two pence between your hands; now rattle (cause to make a lot of quick little noises)them loudly．”

    The sweeper did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, “Now, sir, I think he has paid you: the smell of your victuals regaled his nostrils(openings at the end of the nose); the sound of his money has tickled your ears．”
