My husband and I have been married for 32 years; we have two grown, married sons, and six grandchildren. Were you an avid reader as a child? If so, what did you read? Most definitely!

Tyrell stepped out of the booth and glanced at the cloudy sky. No sign of the sun, and no sign of God’s face smiling down ready to do battle for him. -- From With Music in Their Hearts. Have you ever wondered why God allowed you to go through that hard/dark/difficult period in your life? Has life always been the proverbial bowl of cherries? Of course not! It just seems worse for those of us who serve a God in heaven because we falsely assume life will always be full of sunshine.  Tyrell Walker, the protagonist in my WWII novel, lost his parents as a child. That’s a terrible blow to any child, but God had plans for...
