Somewhere in the darkness the Tiger waits, ready to strike . . .
Abandoning her comfortable American life, Stefanie Peng sets out

in the underground church. Her quest sends her to labor camps,
secret church meetings, and even prison, bringing her face to face
with the value of her freedom and the cost so many pay for their
faith.
Little does she know that a Chinese master spy, the Beijing

a world-renowned physicist, and setting a trap for the leaders of
the Chinese church. Only the courage of the enigmatic man who loves
her can save her.

annihilate the Chinese church and bring America to her knees.

wonderful creative gift of writing to produce a novel that is both

Brushing Away the Tears paints a portrait of a life lived with and
taken by AIDS. It is the true story of Christopher Colts journey
through HIV/AIDS, and it is told in his own words, through his
journals and letters, and through the journals and letters of his
mother. The entries begin in 1989 when Christopher was diagnosed
with HIV and ends a few months before his death in 1992 at age 39.
A budding artist, Christopher details the heartbreaking fear of
knowing that his time is limited and that his life is more than
likely coming to an end. The footnote narrative is provided by
Christophers sister, Debbie Wilson, who holds a BA in journalism.
The subject of AIDS has been written about numerous times from a
medical standpoint, but few times from the victims view. Brushing
Away the Tears, written in these firsthand accounts, stimulates the
curiosity of those who wish to probe the very personal side of
coping with a terminal illness. Christopher was a radiant star
whose spirit lives on through his art and whose story will inspire
others to live like you are dying. This book speaks to the social
stigma of AIDS without preaching or malice and seeks to put a face
on AIDS. The face is that of a man in the prime of his life,
someone who is loved by his family and who has friends and
colleagues. His story is tragic, but in the midst of the narrative
of terrible physical pain and tremendous fear, there is humor in
the writing and in the business of everyday living. The title
Brushing Away the Tears is derived from Christophers passion as an
artist. Every life is painted with the artistic hand of God, and
Christophers life was no different. He just lived his life
differently, and sometimes difference is good, especially if that
difference is family and love.

problems....watch for the next adventure in her upcoming series!
