Nancy Singletary Livres

It's a Sin to Be Boring is a biographical-historical fiction that unravels the complexity of a family, where the actions of one touch the lives of others. The main character, Rebelle Palatine, born in Ohio, marries her high school sweetheart during World War Ii. While she yearns for the war to be over, she achieves her perfect job-modeling at a major department store in New York City. Only one thing throws a roadblock to her happiness-specifically the Battle of the Bulge. The contemporary political influences that constrain and mold the environment burrow like worms into the everyday workings of life. The family story unfolds. The Progressive movement, a political cancer that eats away at the American dream of liberty and freedom, runs parallel to the actions of those individuals who understand and protect the Constitution. Through the shadows of destruction rises a life of success, self-reliance, responsibility, and love. It's a Sin to Be Boring opens a window on history and a reminder that actions have consequences.
