Frances Eastridge was raised poor near the end of the depression on a tobacco farm, with two of the most special parents anyone could have. Roses Will Bloom Again shares the true story of her life, the good times and the bad. She had only one sister, who died at the age of four from Rocky Mountain Fever caused by a tick bite. As a result, Frances grew up an only child. After she married, she and her husband, Herbert George, had three beautiful daughtersCarol, Nancy, and Lisa. Sadly, their daughters were not destined to reach adulthood; they died, one by one, of a rare blood disease. By the time Frances was thirty-four years old, she had lost all of her children. Shortly thereafter, her husband began having cardiac issues, having open heart surgery at the age of forty. The couple then went through one thing after another until he died suddenly from a massive heart attack at forty-eight. While Frances misses her family terribly, she was so proud of all they accomplished in their short lives, particularly her husband. She was amazed by her two oldest daughters, because as sick as they were, they continued to witness for the Lord wherever they went, leading many souls to Him. Frances hopes her story will be an encouragement to brokenhearted people everywhere, showing them that God is always with them.

Looking back over a period of forty-eight years, when my daughter was born, my mother came for a visit. She sat down at the dining table and read a chapter of the Bible. Afterward, she wrote a poem. I thought then, if she could write poetry, so could I. I read the Bible afterward, and God inspired me to write, especially after reading the book of Psalms. Psalms is my favorite book in the Bible. I always had a dream of writing a book and came up with the title, In my Dreams.

Political unrest shakes the foundations of a war-torn country—and of the McCallum family as they fight for their faith in the Secret of the Rose series. Many years after their daring escape from a divided Germany, Sabina and Matthew McCallum return with their son, Tad, to attend a conference on preaching the gospel of Christ in a country still scarred by the Cold War. What they discover is troubling. Western Christianity, while well intentioned, is not filling the unique needs of Christians in the East. And even though the Cold War is over, political strife is bubbling just below the surface, and Sabina and Matthew become entangled in a Communist plot to seize control of Eastern Europe. Once again, the couple must call upon their instinctive talent for survival—and their deep faith in God’s protection—to save their family.
