Her ultimate goal—and joy—is to help readers strengthen their faith that God will never leave or forsake them.
When the Flames Ravaged
World War II widow Evelyn Benson, lives in Hartford with her brother and his family. She has never questioned God—until the circus fire of 1944. Among the circus roustabouts is a reluctant clown hiding from his murky past behind grease paint, but God offers Hank a fresh start. When the big top is consumed by an inferno, Evelyn’s whole family is among the hundreds who are dead or missing. Unbeknownst to her, Hank witnessed her brother’s heroism during the tragic minutes before the tent collapsed. Love blooms while the couple searches for her family, but God also searches their hearts. Will they abandon their belief in a powerful, benevolent God? Or will faith and love rise from the ashes?
