When my friend, and sister in Messiah, Heather Micaela
wrote, “This is much more than a romance and I recommend it to men and women
alike. I felt intimately involved in the challenges facing Naomi, Chaz, and the
others that are involved in their life. The author has a way of making you
really care about the characters. You feel as if you are in that house in
Spanish Harlem. I could hear the accents of the people as they spoke; even the
way they spoke English as bilingual people was very real. I am eagerly awaiting
Book Two,” I had no idea how God would show me that what she wrote was true!
Yet that’s exactly what he did when a lady walking her dog stopped to talk to
me while I was inscribing Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing a few Sundays
ago.
I must share that our discussion seemed decidedly odd
since she told me she didn’t have time to read fiction. However, her questions
were thoughtful, and no one else was walking up, so I answered them in more
detail than I usually do. When she told me, she was a Dean at The University of
California, Irvine
Aware that it was the book that caused her to stop and
that there is nothing on the marketplace like it, I mentioned that if the
University would like the novel, I was certain my publisher could assist since a
portion of these students’ expenses is being offset by the government. My
publisher agreed! And that my friend is all I have to share for now, except to
ask that you lift this up in prayer because I will be contacting the Junior
Colleges, Colleges, and Universities in my area to if they would like the book
too.
