She is a highly acclaimed, best-selling author with more than one million books in print. She lives in central Kansas with her retired military husband, Don, where she continues to write gentle stories of hope. She enjoys spending time with her three daughters and grandchildren. Grace and the Preacher - This story takes place back in Theo Garrison s cousins persuaded him to be part of their scheme to commit a train robbery. The cousins get caught and go to prison for 10 years, but Theo escapes without capture. When their sentence is complete, they set out to find him. Theo goes on the run and assumes a new identity, posing as Reverend Rufus Dille. Meanwhile, Grace Cristler s uncle plans to retire from preaching. It is up to Grace to find a new preacher to take his place. How long will it take until Theo s true identity is exposed? Will Grace forgive his dishonesty? Can the faith of one small prairie town and a kind woman s generous heart survive such a great deception? Find this book on the library table. Enjoy! Look for more new books next month!!! Your Librarian, Rachel Krabill Quote: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
