The village of Whitwick is a simple one, like many British villages were around the country in the early twentieth century. Within its boundaries of pubs, small corner shops, farms and coalmines, is a small world in itself. Every person knows every other person and that sense of community and playing one's part in that community is what gives a sense of purpose to each citizen. 'The Man Within the Compass' is home to Zachariah and Sarah Parker, a hardy couple that do everything together, a real team. Vital members of their community, Zachariah and Sarah, with their modest wealth but big dreams, build their lives and the future of their family in the walls of the Compass inn and in the boundaries of Whitwick. Though they won't change the world, ensuring the security and prosperity of generations to come is all they need.

About the author










Christine Jones grew up in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York. Like many young women during those times, she failed to prepare a plan for her life. It was this failure that led to her being a single mother living on welfare. Had it not been for the fact that she wanted a better life, she might have allowed herself to believe her situation could not get better. She would have taken that lethal step into what she terms as being the 'Ghetto's Poison' - a poison that allows one to foolishly believe the hype that says, "Where and how you live will define where you will go in life." Instead, she strived forward, while helplessly watching many of her friends as they took that frightful plunge into the Ghetto's Poison. As she watched, a fire burned deep into her soul. It was that fire that prompted her to write novels, Ghetto's Poison and My Sister's Place.
