Despite having everything she could ask for, Janet Wilson couldn't shake a sense of emptiness in her life--or her desire to return to the continent of her birth. After much back-and-forth, she and her husband reached an agreement: they would embark on a daring adventure, driving 25,000 miles across Africa. What they couldn't anticipate then was how this trip would challenge almost every belief, opinion, and value they held. Over the course of their journey, Janet and her husband collided with the world and each other. There were tears and laughter. They shared thrilling highlights and challenges that forced them to negotiate and cooperate with one another. And after a heartbreaking tragedy and Janet's arrest, they made critical decisions that transformed their relationship, bringing them to a level of trust and commitment they had never before experienced. Ultimately, this led them to a deeper understanding about their place in the world--and each other's lives. A suspenseful and emotional true account that explores themes of love, commitment, resilience, and the power of forgiveness in the face of adversity, All You'll See is Sky is a memoir of a woman's transformation from brokenness to wholeness and a couple's transformation from breakdown to breakthrough.
THE BATTLE FOR THE BOOK OF GOOD DEEDS, a fictional adventure laced with historical facts, has proven to be eerily prophetic. In a scene (page 47) that could have been ripped from current headlines, non-profit organizations are targeted with government audits that require years of back records. Those many charities failing the strenuous tests are closed. In another chapter (page 84) characters express fears of a looming World War III. On one hand this story is an action/adventure/fantasy for readers age 8 to 12, but on a deeper level it's a commentary -- and a warning -- for adults about the dangerous path our nation has chosen. In this modern fable, will an orphaned boy's steadfast belief in a legend about an ancient book protected by an immortal owl restore hope to a world ravaged by evil? Join Marty, his older sister, Ginny, and their grandparents on this action-packed quest as they follow the clues left by a World War I soldier to find The Book of Good Deeds and you may discover the power of the good that lies within your own heart. It's the perfect adventure for grandparents to share with their grandchildren and vice versa.
