A Child's Need for a Beloved Companion

Helen VanEck Holub, now a great-grandmother, has been telling stories for many years. After all, she had to entertain children then grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. She has also been writing them down. She writes on a variety of subjects including murder mysteries, spiritual and any other type of poetry you can imagine. You never really know what to expect when Helen sets her mind to create a story or a poem.

VanEck Holub has two books of poetry that have been published, "Guided by the Spirit" and "Echoes of Love." She is a most talented lady. She has a book published for young children entitled "The Peanut Butter Caper." Oh what a caper that one is! All of the subjects she chooses to write on are done to perfection. Her gift to write seems to be never-ending. Her fans love her penmanship and the wonderful loving character of this amazing woman.

Writing for children seems to bring out qualities in Helen VanEck Holub's work that could compare her writing and story-telling to the classics. Helen has just put into publication another book for the older child. This one is entitled "Beloved Companion."

The book cover and graphic art designs that enhance the story were created by the very talented Helen McManus and her ability shines just as it did in "The Peanut Butter Caper."

This book brings into light the birth of a baby boy, Jaimie Alan Anderson, in the Introduction of the story. As the actual tale begins Jaimie is just under two years old. His parents, Jim, a young lawyer at a large law firm and Rachel, a school teacher, want to go on a vacation for their third anniversary. Both the parents are only children and Rachel has lost her parents at the tender age of sixteen. They would like to leave Jaimie and spend some time together. Who better to ask than Jim's parents Ed and Ellie? It is agreed and a most dramatic and interesting story begins to unfold.

Beloved Companion is a book that older children will enjoy reading as they meet the characters, including two very special dogs. The story has a mystery to the details and everything comes to light at the end of the book.

If you love stories about animals, especially dogs, then this is the book for you or a child you love. The story is literally captivating. Find out, how a boy, who went through some terrible experiences, found out what his real problem was through a loving and caring family and the love of a dog.
