Jones, Veda Boyd Sisters in Time. #bk. 9

Read by Charity Spencer

Time Period: 1832 Twelve-year-old Emma Farley has a secret hope-but in 1832, in the rough frontier city of Cincinnati, will she ever be able to live her dream? The odds are against her, considering society's views of "women's work," as well as the more immediate and frightening problems she face-a massive flood of the Ohio River and an epidemic of cholera. Using actual historical events to tell a compelling coming-of-age story, Emma's Secret shows young readers that God-given dreams are meant to be followed. Combining fiction with real events is an ideal way to teach history and faith-especially at this price! VEDA BOYD JONES writes romances 'that confirm my own values,' including the award-winning Callie's Mountain. She has also written several books in the American Adventure series for boys and girls ages 8-12 and several romantic novellas. Besides her fiction writing, Veda has authored numerous articles for popular periodicals. A sought-after speaker at writer's conferences, Veda lives with her architect husband and three sons in the Ozarks of Missouri
