Leota's Garden » (~)

From 1976 to 1985, Francine Rivers had a successful writing career in the general market, and her books were awarded or nominated for numerous awards and prizes. Although raised in a religious home, Francine did not truly encounter Christ until later in life, when she was already a wife, mother of three, and an established romance novelist. Shortly after becoming a born-again Christian in 1986, Francine wrote Redeeming Love as her statement of faith.

As Leota enters the twilight of her life, she wonders if her years were worth it. In the midst of her self pity, she begins to blossom again as she accepts the care and love offered from unexpected places.
