Overview"Determined, thirteen-year-old Emeline honors a commitment made to her dying pa. With courage and confidence, Em transports herself across the 1890s landscape to fulfill the promise of contacting her grandfather. She sets out on her beloved horse and enjoys freedom and beauty. She endures hardship and personal attacks to which she responds with quick decisions. Unknown enemies seek her precious possessions. Supporters rescue her - including one special young man. As she's able, she reads her pa's Bible, prays, and writes in her journal. Less dependent on others and more driven to shape her destiny, she makes a bold choice which astonishes everyone, and herself. ""Had they been together, I imagine Laura Ingalls Wilder and Emeline O'Connor would have been fast friends.""

The Wishing Shelf """A gripping plot populated with memorable, larger-than-life characters. Highly recommended for 12-16 year olds."" The Wishing Shelf" Author Information"I was born and raised with my two sisters in Prairie Village, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City. As a young girl, I loved reading and writing. My favorite book when I was a middle-schooler was The Adventures of Perrine. I loved the historical foreign setting, but most of all I identified with Perrine and wanted to be like her: courageous, discerning, resourceful, and self-reliant. Written in the 1800s, it is no longer in print, but it's in this spirit that I wrote Emeline A Journey. As a former teacher, my goal is to impact today's youth with quality stories that they can relate to and want to emulate in their own lives. We need children with good character to be the friends, workers, and leaders of tomorrow. I'm currently ""retired,"" but I work part-time as an administrative assistant, am an active member and treasurer for our local writers group, write, paint with watercolors, and more. My husband of 39 years and I live north of the Missouri River in Kansas City, Missouri with our dog, Taz." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
