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)

A special thank you to Sheri at http://sheridegrom.wordpress.com/ for leading me to Debbie at <a href="http://girlwiththepen1118.wordpress.com Debbie’s “about” page had this video on it. There was no reblog link so I found it and copied it. I wanted to be sure to thank these two lovely women for their heartfelt posts. Love, Paulette
It is a treasure to be your friend.

How sincerely kind you are. It’s mutual, my friend.
Really lovely. No better a prayer could there be. 🙂
Such a beautiful song. If only we could all be safe. One can certainly entertain that notion.
Paulette, This truly is a wonderful song. I will admit I am not the biggest Josh fan, but some songs just make you stop and appreciate and this truly is one. Thank you for sharing it. Take care — Bill
I love the song. I think my dog could sing it and the message would still move me, lol. BTW: I LOVE YOUR NEW PHOTO SANTA. It’s true, it’s true, you are Santa! Adorable, my friend. Stay well, will you? xoxo
Beautiful, Paulette! Have a wonderful Christmas, all of you, and I hope the New Year brings you all the things you wish for and deserve ~ Amelia ♥
I wish the same for you. Have since we first met and now more than ever with all you’re doing to raise awareness to endangered species. Being a voice for the voiceless – a great service and act of kindness. Bless you sweet friend. ❤
And you, too, my dear friend. Thank you for all you do so tirelessly for the animal rescue centres ♥ ♥
🙂
This is truly lovely. And you Paulette, are even more so. My very biggest and bestest hugs for you and those you love!
Aww, sweet friend. Smooches, hugs, and wish I could jump into the screen and do it in person for your kind heartedness is such an amazing magnet. Wishing you and yours all good things all your days. 🙂
And right back to you 😀 XX Thank you Amelia for this moment in time with such a heartfelt song, such warm thoughts and wishes! Have the happiest of Christmases and the happiest of New Years!
The same is wished to you, from my heart to yours, across continents and oceans. Grateful for our connection.

With you on that, all the way. p 2 P ❤
Lovely voices, thank you.
Yes, they are really lovely. And, I love that song and its message. So happy to share with you. 🙂
I haven’t heard this young lady in a few years. Nice to hear her lovely, mature-before-her-time voice again. Would life promise to continue as innocent as our lovely young up-and-comings in whatever way they present themselves. 🙂
I hadn’t heard her in quite a while either when I happened upon this today. The innocent bring so much to life, and life to them. I love what you said. 🙂
🙂
Have a beautiful season yourself 🙂
Thank you, my friend, thank you. 🙂
Merry Christmas, Paulette. Let this be our prayer.
Yes, my friend, let this be our prayer. Merry Christmas and happy days to you. 🙂
