I'm in awe:-) ...Wow Pat, you are one busy lady! I'm in awe:-) Your book sounds so fascinating...I had a friend who even 20 years after her abortion would just sit and weep...so I'm sure your book is touching many lives. That's so neat how God gave you the idea for your book and then later you find out that you've named your character the same name as your ancestor! That's totally God. With my 1st Historical Romantic Suspense book which will be finished by the end of June, I had a God-moment where I was 'wowed.' I started the book with a peasant girl from Russia(my great-grandparents had immigrated there)...who almost gets raped. Anyway I was asking God why am I writing about this subject and why is she always being haunted and chased by 'the dark side.'(so to speak). One day when I had just sat down to write, God told me you are writing about this because when you were in your childhood your soul had been raped. (I went thru a few things like physical abuse, etc.)...anyway needless to say I was shocked...and then it all made sense. How the bad guy in my book is actually the devil as he's been trying to steal my identity and disable me. So anyway...I do understand about God moments ...it's amazing :-) I'll need to give your book a read...I know I'd find it fascinating!Lorna Faithhttp://www.surfingforshoes.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-18680681089144078502012-06-08T16:36:13.285-07:002012-06-08T16:36:13.285-07:00Caroline, congrats on your efforts and successes i...Caroline, congrats on your efforts and successes in your genealogy research.

I have also written two family histories, one for my mother-in-law and one for my mom. Now my brother and I are writing one for my dad's family. Locating descendants for each of his siblings has been difficult, but we have finally found most of them. We'll publish the book late this summer. This is a book in which God had a hand so many times and miraculous things happened to reveal documents we needed and locate relatives.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-49464980381265672792012-06-08T14:27:49.193-07:002012-06-08T14:27:49.193-07:00Thanks for a beautiful interview and I loved readi...Thanks for a beautiful interview and I loved reading the backstory--the backstories are always so interesting!
