Peering Through Life's Window

  A Warm Welcome to Sherri Stewart To enter to win the e-Book of A Song for her Enemies leave a comment and an email address below. Hi Sherri, tell us a little about yourself.  I am a learner, and I like to learn unusual things. For example, I study three languages every day: Dutch, French, and Welsh. Why? I traveled to the Netherlands for A Song for Her Enemies , and we stayed in Haarlem where the story takes place, as well took side trips to Amsterdam and the concentration camp, Vucht. I will be returning to the Netherlands—God willing—in September to research the sequel to A Song . My son and I were supposed to travel to Wales last August but had to cancel due to stupid COVID. But the Welsh language is so stunning, I can’t stop practicing it every day on Duolingo.  Tell us about your latest book.  After Nazi soldiers close the opera and destroy Tamar Kaplan’s dream of becoming a professional singer, she joins the Dutch Resistance, her fair coloring concealing her Jewish heritage.

A Warm Welcome to Erin Stevenson Erin will give away an e-Book or a print book (U.S. residents) of Sisters Ever After. Winner's choice.   To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below. Hi Erin, first, tell us a little about yourself. I’m Erin, just a child of the King. I have four grown children and three grands. I live in central Iowa and enjoy puttering in my yard, which mostly equates to pulling weeds. My secret indulgence is regular M & Ms.  Were you an avid reader as a child? If so, what did you read? I read everything that was appealing to a child of the 60s. When the teacher unpacked the Scholastic book order each month, she gave each child their 2-3 books and then handed the box with the remaining dozen+ books to me.  Tell us about your latest book. This book is called Sisters Ever After and is very close to my heart. Without giving away anything, it’s a story about learning to trust God’s timing. Two people meet under circumstances that pit them against o

To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below. Hi Kim, Lots of writers were avid readers as children. How about you? If so, what did you read. Yes! I enjoyed reading the classics. I realize now that most were versions for children until I got older. I used my allowance to buy the Companion Library or Illustrated Classic versions at Kmart. One of my favorites was Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates . I had a crush on Hans. I also enjoyed Heidi. I was born in Germany, so I imagined myself being her. Those books became a part of my classroom library when I began teaching sixth grade. I read to my students and found new favorites such as Across Five Aprils, A Wrinkle in Time, Old Yeller, and more. When I moved to teaching high school literature, I returned to the classics.  Why do you wr
