Synopsis

What can you do when your church is drifting from the truth? How do you maintain a focus on God when other pursuits get in the way? How do you help your children cultivate values that will weave beauty and harmony into the tapestries of their lives? These are questions Truman and Ellie faced as they grew up, became adults, and started a family of their own in the first half of the twentieth century. As they encountered troublesome challenges, they continually sought God for direction. Their choices left an enduring legacy for future generations.

Truman and Ellie's era was quite different from our own, yet the challenges and questions remain surprisingly familiar. This book will challenge you to consider the tapestry of your own life and inspire you to choose the threads that will enhance the design you hope to complete someday.

About this title

About the Author

Laura Smucker began to love writing when she was in fifth grade. Her creative writing teacher introduced her to various writing styles during that time and encouraged her students to keep journals. When Laura began writing, she wrote mostly poems and short stories. As she grew older, she became interested in writing about real people, and she joined a writers' email group to further develop her interests.
Laura grew up in Oregon but lived in Poland for the last decade, where her husband, John, served as mission field director. She and John, along with their four children, have recently moved back to Oregon.
A few of Laura's motivators and favorite things are coffee, chocolate, books, people, Cap'n Crunch, and the rich heritage of Europe.
