Last September,Kim Holdiman was invited to a women’s retreat. During her stay she met a young wife and mother and spoke at length about families, the challenges they’d faced, and how God had brought them through. The friend shared a story about her daughter that  touched her heartl. She asked Kim to write a book about it. Kim had always wanted to be a writer, but every time She'd start up, something would get in the way and then before you know it ---she was in her mid 40s.

As soon as she returned home, she sat down at the laptop and  fingers began flying over the keyboard. When Kim went back and read the words.... it brought tears. "I knew immediately that this was the book that was to be published."

Kim fell in love with the work of David Gnass (who thankfully agreed to illustrate this book). He lives in Ontario, Canada, so we did all of the work through email and on the phone.She chose to self publish through Tate Publishing so I could maintain the rights to the book. Everything has went really smoothly and quickly!
