Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial, which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. (1 Peter 4:12-13 KJV)

ROUND OF APPLAUSE 

Sandra Brown Lindstedt’s debut as an author is one she will steadfastly cherish for years to come.

Amongst the reasons is that Lindstedt’s Life of A Firefly: The Incredible Adventures And Mostly True Stories of Sandy Forte, which made its ceremonious debut in August 2020, has been as good as advertised.

Come to think of it, her featured published masterpiece, for the most part, has exceeded her lofty expectations, given Lindstedt’s Life of A Firefly: The Incredible Adventures And Mostly True Stories of Sandy Forte has garnered an array of notable honors.

A globally-acclaimed author who resides in Sweden, Lindstedt’s Life of A Firefly: The Incredible Adventures And Mostly True Stories of Sandy Forte has amassed nine major awards, including the Reader Views’ Grand Prize 2021 Fiction Book of the Year.

Accompanied by 157 pages, Lindstedt’s Life of A Firefly, by all accounts, has been liken to a book composed by arguably one of the greatest authors of all time.

“If you are just going to buy one book this year, this is it. If you loved I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, you will love this book,” said an Amazon spokesperson for Lindstedt’s featured book. “Life of a Firefly is already becoming a classic, a warm, exciting, captivating book you will cherish for the rest of your life. If this sounds like your kind of book, then click ‘add to cart’ now.”

Interestingly enough, according to an Amazon spokesperson, “Sandy learns to face her giants with the help of a tiny firefly, building strong character and boosting self-esteem.

“Together, they go on an incredible journey that captures the imagination. This beautiful collection of moral stories will remind you no matter how bleak a situation may look, a little faith and a firefly can take you a long way. It also gives people of color a mirror of strong characters that look like them and others a window to experience the African-American community in a whole new way.”

A native of Hooks, Texas — a rural Bowie County establishment that is part of the Texarkana metropolitan area and is comprised of roughly 2,518 residents, according to the latest 2020 U.S. census — Lindstedt is appreciative of the success her initial written work has attracted since its Fall 2020 release.

“God has given each one of us a measure of faith. It’s up to us to activate it and redeem it in our lives,” Lindstedt told Making Headline News this week. “It can be as small as a mustard seed, or as tiny as the light in a firefly. So be like the firefly, let your light shine bright, illuminating every dark corner you encounter in life.”

After the release of Life of a Firefly, Lindstedt consequently produced the books, My Super Sweet Week and Patti Moon and The Magic Balloon, both of which were released in 2021.

Other published works, she said, are forthcoming, much sooner rather than later.

Lindstedt’s next book, In the Age of Fireflies, is “being edited right now,” she told MHN.

This book, she announced, is scheduled to be released December 1.

“I’m hoping it wins as many or more awards than the first book,” Lindstedt said of her soon-to-be-released book. “I will be doing a pre-launch of In the Age of Fireflies, coming soon in November. It will be set up by my publicist.”

In essence, Lindstedt’s Life of A Firefly is a memoir that depicts her life growing up in what she describes as “the slums of the south-side of Chicago.”

“Through it all, God was there,” Lindstedt explained. “Where much is given, much is required and, through all my hardships, God was teaching me about faith in Him. This book is a testament to that faith…that no matter how big your mountain is, God is bigger.”

Indeed, He is.

To God be the glory.
