Book Description
In 1978 Mary Frances went from disbelief to total belief in God within seconds. The often funny, moving and sometimes spectacular events that followed took her on a journey - constantly asking questions and working out her own answers with humour and common sense. Meanwhile there were fantasy visits to a cottage, her own special place where Mary and Jesus gave her tea, cakes and comfort. In time, views of mountains and oceans and sulphurous landscapes opened out to show present and future events - both in her own life and in the world. Her quest for truth finally came to a conclusion in Medjugorje, a village in Bosnia where the mother of Jesus is said to have appeared to six children in 1981 and has apparently been doing so at the same time every day since. To find out for herself, the author visited the place twice, the second time during the horrific Bosnian war, and found - with awe but without surprise - that Medjugorje not only proved the authenticity of her special place, but also validated the apparitions. The story is told with humour and immediacy, and describes all the steps along the way, including divorce at 60, careers in politics and art, a world cruise and, at 70-plus, a college course in journalism and a national award. Through it all lies a strong thread of faith in the power and beauty of God, an absolute belief that, with trust, He answers our prayers with efficiency, promptitude - and love.

Book Description
Living in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, the Anasazi Indians enjoyed a good and bountiful life. Yet, for some reason, they abandoned their village and all that remains are the ruins of Tyuoni at the Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico. In this work of fiction, Jopin, an eighty year-old elder desperate for an answer, embarks on a prayer quest that takes him on a chain of events which will unveil the fate of Tyuoni. Deer-tracker, his pre-teen grandson, and Knee-nose, a young spotted deer, help Jopin deal with Chief Salamander’s questionable actions and motives as the tribe journeys on a treacherous and intriguing odyssey. In his story, the author strives to demonstrate how a significant religious event could have influenced the people to abandon their majestic village, join the Great Migration, and follow the spinning sun to their new homeland, even though popular belief purports that the Anasazi vanished because of war, severe drought, or famine. The wonder of living in such an extraordinary time and place will provoke interest in the age-old mystery of what really happened.
