Wilma Wall

Wilma Wall (1926-2009) was born in ShangHang, China, the child of missionary parents. Much of her childhood was spent creating imaginary friends, stories and plays. As a young teenager, back in the US, she became an accomplished pianist and later a piano teacher. She raised three daughters with her husband Dave, and only when the busy family years were over did she have time to indulge again in her creative passions...

Her first novel was 'Forbidden' (2004, Kregel), a love story set in the years of WWII, dealing with the hurdles that a Mennonite girl and her beloved young Japanese soldier faced. She went on to publish 'Jade Bracelet' (2006, Kregel), loosely based on real experiences in China and in the US. Her last published book, 'Storm Warning' (2009, Kregel), is the first in a trilogy of books, of which the second and third books are yet to be published.
