ABOUT THE BOOK



They want to worship as their hearts demand...but is it something they can give up everything for?




Brianna has only ever been what her life demanded. A wife, a hostess, a mother. But when a stand her husband takes ostracizes them from the Lutheran church that controls so much of life in Sweden, Brianna finds herself needing to find a strength beyond

her station...a strength that will see her through prejudice and persecution and to a home she never dreamed she would find.




Based on the true story of the author s family s journey from Sweden to America, this sweeping saga paints the brilliance of new faith, the bravery of a new land...and the beauty of plunging beneath the waters and emerging a new person, capable of what one never thought one could do.




If you would like to read the first chapter of Gathered Waters, go HERE.






My Review:

A wonderful and thoughtful story of faith, struggle, and triumph.  Brianna is a dynamic character who lured me into her life from the first chapter.  I admire her faith and inner strength through the trials she and her family faced, and her devotion to her husband even when difficulties overwhelmed them.  This is a wonderfully well-written story.  I look forward to reading more by this author in the near future!





ABOUT THE AUTHOR:





A Word from the Author:



I never planned to be a writer. In fact, it took me a while to finish college. But I did, and here I am. And I now I can’t imagine not being a writer.



By day, I am an English Instructor for a local college, Marketing Manager for Degnan Design Builders, Inc., mother to four amazing children, and wife to an eternally patient and supportive husband.



In the evening, when I can squirrel away some quiet time, I read and write historical fiction.



I have a B.A. in English Lit. from UW Whitewater and an M.F.A in Creative Writing from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, NJ.
