These short stories were written as gifts by a mother to her children, by a wife to her husband, and by a friend. In each, our Lord, The Shepherd, spends time giving of Himself to someone on a journey, to someone alone on a country road, to someone small and afraid, or to someone who has a dream. The sentiments shared and the scriptures offered at the end of each story were inclined toward the person for whom they were written, but still, they speak to anyone who has been on a journey, has had a dream, or has been alone and afraid. These fable-like stories were inspired by Him, shared in love, and are now offered with the humble hope that the reader will be touched.
In the sun-drenched, war-torn hills of 1943 Provence, a local lavender distiller and French resistance courier, Geneviève, hides a wounded British wireless operator in her remote cellar. Together, they guard a secret leather-bound ledger containing decoded messages that could compromise the entire Allied landing—if the occupying forces searching the fields find it.
An ancient celestial relic, buried for millennia beneath the capital archive, begins humming with rhythmic seismic vibrations. A young, blind scribe must decipher the star-map engraved into its obsidian surface before the upcoming dual-solar eclipse, or the country's protective barrier will collapse, letting in the shadow-wraiths of the Outlands.
We are all stories in the end, floating in the dark. Writing is simply our way of striking a match to find where the boundaries lie.
— SANDRA BROCKNovelst & Essayist
I have always believed that books are the closest thing we have to true magic. They allow us to travel through centuries, inhabit different souls, and cross mountains without ever taking a step.
I was born in San Francisco and predominately raised in northern California. I raised two children as a single mother and married the love of my life. We serve in church together and enjoy spending time with all of our children: three kids, four grandkids, and two cats.
