Senior Adult Speaker

Are you looking for a speaker for your Senior Citizens monthly lunch meeting? R. D. Roberts, long time Columbia area music minister and music merchant has written two historical fiction novels in his retirement. He is available to speak to senior groups at any church in the state. Book signings are also available following the speaking engagement.

The first novel, “Walnut Grove” is set in Oklahoma between 1895 and 1947 with a flash-back to the “Trail of Tears.” It is a story of a family living in northeastern Oklahoma during the oil boom days. Although it is a love story, it also deals with the treatment of those who are different from us.

“Miss Sarah” is the story of a lady who was born of missionary parents in China who were forced out when the Japanese invaded the country in 1939. Coming to America to live, she was not prepared for the racial prejudice she found. It is an intriguing story that is especially poignant for those who remember the days of “separate but equal.” Both books are written from a Christian prospective.

Recent speaking engagements include St. Andrews Baptist, Columbia; First Baptist Irmo; Abbeville First Baptist Church; Greenlawn Baptist, Columbia; Kelleytown Baptist, Hartsville; First Baptist, Columbia; and Kathwood Baptist, Columbia.
