ABOUT THE AUTHOR:


I’ve always loved reading, history, and horses. These things come together in several of my historical books. My young adult novel, Sarah’s Long Ride, also spotlights horses and the rugged sport of endurance riding, as does the contemporary romance Trail to Justice.

Another longtime hobby

Lost Mission by Athol Dickson

Athol Dickson’s name has long been associated with high praise in the literary world so it was with significant expectation that I picked up his latest novel, Lost Mission, to see where the journey would lead.

The tale commences in 18th century Italy with a Spanish monk, Fray Alejandro, sent a message by God to reach the heathens of the New World. His obedience to his Father’s call would impact the life of a young Mexican woman as she followed in his footsteps more than two hundred years later.

This incredible “hug from heaven” has been a tangible affirmation that Pearl Girls has true meaning and great worth for women throughout the world. I pray that God will continue to bless this ministry and outreach. May we all realize that the grit in our lives can be transformed

Too Precious to Wear
by Sarah Sundin

One Christmas when my mother was a girl, she received a string of pearls from her father. Since her parents were divorced-an unusual situation in the 1950s-she treasured the pearls as a sign of her father’s love. When he passed away her senior year in high school, the pearls took on even greater significance.

When I was growing up, my mother talked often about the pearls, but
