The Rose Journal is a captivating contemporary novel based in rural Minnesota and features a delightful Scandinavian family who express their heritage in traditional customs. The entertaining story highlights the life of Cassandra Lynn as she grows from an imaginative young child into a mature middle-aged woman.

Through an extra-ordinary encounter with an angel, Cassandra is presented with an unprecedented opportunity to influence eternity. The soul of her beloved husband is at stake. But the decision carries with it a tremendous risk to her own well-being. What will Cassandra’s choice be? Is her love for her husband great enough to overcome serious personal danger? How large a sacrifice can be expected for the cause of human love?

This touching, heartwarming narrative is interwoven with true to life experiences of humor, tragedy, romance, and intriguing mystery.  It will draw aside the curtain of eternity to reveal the other side of suffering. . . a spiritual dimension where time is of little consequence, where priorities are changed and rearranged, where some of the “whys” of suffering are exposed. . . and a greater understanding exists as to the reasons God may permit suffering, and even use it, to release and refine a human soul.

The book is an excellent choice for your own inspirational reading, or as an encouraging gift to someone who is experiencing a difficult time of life.
