About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap

The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing. Paulette Mahurin, the author, is a Nurse Practitioner who lives in Ojai, California with her husband Terry and their two dogs--- Max and Bella. She practices women's health in a rural clinic and writes in her spare time. All profits from her book are going to animal rescue, Santa Paula Animal Shelter, the first and only no-kill shelter in Ventura County, CA, where she lives. (see links below on Ventura County Star Article & Shelter) To find out more please go the The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap on facebook or Amazon or e-mail us at the gavatar addresses. Thank you.

  Thank you so much, Saymber. I don’t paint much, and only recently took it up, but I’m really happy to know there is something I can do at times when I might be homebound, that I love to do.

    As one who is kind of homebound myself, crafting and drawing really help you feel better. You are quite talented. 🙂

    I so understand what you said. I was homebound for close to 8 years, then partially homebound but limited. Writing and painting, plus having my fury kids and great hubby helped me get through…Lyme Disease, now 95% better and grateful. Hope whatever is going on with you, that you have a good quality life.

  Lee! Well thank you my writing-soul-sister. When I was down with Lyme, not much I could do. Painting and writing = therapy. From the ashes… Big cyber hug to you!

  Hello Seeker. Thanks for stopping by and your very kind words. Of course you can make copies and share to your heart’s desire. I’m really a student, literally, and dabbling but because profits from my book are going to dog rescue (& cats) I wanted to post some fury things at this site. 🙂

  Hello Rexlin Victor, lovely to meet you here. Your photo drew me in and I’m delighted for this connection. I am a beginner, a mere student, took up painting when I became ill and could do little else but move a brush and pen to write. Now, I’m better and happy to be out and about making new friends, like you. 🙂
