A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

My leap of faith - Allie's Journey

On Monday, I released my first novel called Allie's Journey.  I wrote this book for my girls, ages 11 and 12.  It's 225 pages and tells the story of Allie, a freshman in high school. Here's the book description:

Turas has been waiting for a hero…

Taken from the world she knows, Allie finds herself trapped in a strange land.  Things are not always as they seem, and an evil has swept through the land, causing it and the people living there to suffer.  The only hope of freedom lies in a hero mentioned in the Legend of the Guardian and a pearl bracelet.  Allie fits the general description of the hero, but she’s more interested in getting back to her own world.  After she realizes the legend may be her only hope, she agrees to try but struggles with the quest.  When she finds her life in danger time after time, she wonders if she’s in over her head and if she’ll ever make it home.

This has been a labor of love for me.  I enjoy writing and hope the positive message in the book will help people of all ages conquer the lies we tell ourselves and accept that we're all children of God, precious in His sight.  For me, this is a massive leap of faith.  I'm going to trust God with the outcome of this venture see what happens!

"I will lift my eyes up to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth."
Psalm 121:1-2 (NASB)
