My friend and fellow writer, Mary DeMuth, has been nominated for a Christy award in the category of "First Novel" for her book Watching the Tree Limbs. This is the compelling, redemptive tale of a young girl named Mara who grows to know and love the Lord even as she struggles to come to terms with difficult family issues and the painful abuse she suffers at the hands of a neighbor boy.
I so enjoyed hearing Mary speak at Mount Hermon. Watching the Tree Limbs is, in many ways, Mary's personal story of suffering and redemption. I have read the book and enjoyed it thoroughly. It will entertain you, make you cry, and challenge you in your faith. I highly recommend it!
