GREENVILLE, Ohio, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Sharon Starline provides young readers with an adventurous fictional story filled with spiritual inspiration in New Beginnings ($22.49, paperback, 9798868529238; $7.99, e-book, 9798868529245).

Starline's juvenile fiction follows the story of one family's journey when forced to leave their home because of religious repercussions. This family of eight fled because their religious beliefs were different from the wife's family. Sadly, the parents and oldest son are killed early in their travels by a flood. The remaining siblings must continue travelling to their new home and build a new life. Through trying times, the children persevere together along with some much-needed help from new friends in their new town. Not only do the townspeople grow to love the children, but Indians near their home also become part of their family and provide added protection against some very bad people. Most importantly the children look to God for the ultimate support and remember the powerful teachings learned early on from their late parents.

When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Starline said, "Love for positive life even through hard times."
