Elrena Evans, LM's marketing and publicity manager, is giving a reading next Tuesday, March 4th, at Messiah College in PA. It's at 7:30 and is free and open to the public, and a reception will follow.
Check out Elrena's story, When the Light was Still New, published by the Wild Rose Press.

When the daughter of a vineyard owner is betrothed to a man she cannot love, she pleads with her father to reconsider. But, in ancient Israel, age-old traditions are not dismissed lightly.
Can she escape the forced marriage? Will she be allowed to marry her true love? And what will her betrothed do when he finds out she is trying to get out of the arrangement?

When you’re a young woman living in a world of men’s traditions, sometimes all you can do is pray for a miracle.
