Dorene Lang is a Maine author who's first published book is "Journey Through Pastor's Pear Tree." She holds a degree in Social Services. Most of her working career has been spent with youth, with and without disabilities. Lang's "Journey" began when she, her husband Charles, and sons Charlie and Jacob lived with their pastor during a personal hardship. One of the highlights of living there for Lang was the pear tree that was within view of the living room window, and the turkeys which sometimes surrounded it.
