Beyond the Rail Fence

"Beyond The Rail Fence" explores relationships, heartbreak, deceit and the value of true friendship. Told through the story of Jenny, Thomas and other animals, these characters navigate new beginnings, survival and self-discovery. Join them in their barnyard enclosed by the rail fence, and maybe beyond.

Jenny challenges stereotypes and historical norms with the notion of extending her friendships beyond the rail fence. Following her heart, she discovers herself and the value of true friendship. A story for young readers that focuses on understanding genuine friendship and learning self love, it's more important now than ever to start children on the right path, and there's no better way to build confidence than with Jenny and her barnyard friends.

Inspired by his experience as a father, including the nightly story telling tradition shared with both his children (when they were young), Dudley embraces story telling as medium to communicate important learnings. "Beyond The Rail Fence" draws from one of those stories and explores relationships, deceit and the meaning of true friendship. Communicated through the journey of Jenny, Thomas and other animals who navigate new beginnings, survival and self-discovery from the confines of the barnyard defined by the rail fence, this book is fundamentally about friendships and their ability to nurture our personal growth and confidence.

An entrepreneur, CEO, independent director and student of the power of human relationships, Dudley has written extensively about leadership, organizational behavior and team culture, including his bestselling book "Fusion Leadership Unleashing The Movement of Monday Morning Enthusiasts". "Beyond The Rail Fence" is Dudley's first children's book.

Dudley, the father of two beautiful children, lives with his wife of 33 years (Laurie) in Portland, Oregon and New York, New York. Whitney Gregoire shares her amazing creativity on line and through a variety of mediums from her home in Portland, Oregon.
