Love reading your story. I have always loved both fiction and the Bible although I did go through prodigal years. I remember reading a wrinkle in time around 12 and in my mind I saw a key turning. I find fiction reading and writing freeing. I love Tessa Afshar's historical biblical fiction. And I look forward to reading your book.

I have yet to read A Wrinkle in Time, but so many people say how instrumental it has been in their journey!

I recently read the Chronicles of Narnia series and the Hobbit. Realizing i knew these works from films and found them so enjoyable.

I found ‘A Long Way From Verona’ by Jane Gardam helped me through rough early years in secondary school. I read ‘The Choice’ by Jenny Cooke as a youngish Christian many, many times, and still love it. And of course, ‘Jane Eyre’ for learning to stand courageously as a woman in my own right.

Sometimes I wonder where I would be without literature, novels, stories. I've found so much truth, beauty, healing, hope, encouragement - and so much more - nestled in the pages of books, wrapped up in stories. Reading is like a treasure hunt for me.
