Connie Perez - Scenes Everlasting and Other Essays - Gables

Scenes Everlasting and Other Essays is a bestselling collection of inspirational short stories based on Connie Perez’s life experiences as a daughter, wife, mother, sister, and friend. From childhood to parenthood, from losing loved ones to having breakfast with Mother Teresa, from baseball to God Almighty, these bits of memoir are uplifting and thought-provoking reflections that take the reader on a journey filled with laughter, tears, friendship and faith.

Perspective, humor, life lessons, and spiritual growth is just some of what awaits the reader in this rich gathering of shorts filled with outer reality and inner sensibility.

The book sale proceeds for Scenes Everlasting go to benefit two charities. Perez is donating the royalties to Autism Speaks and St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, “Two charities with a great mission statement and track record of helping numerous children,” says Perez.
