Montana Rising is back for a new adventure! Christmas in Florida was not Monti's plan. A quick trip to visit her parents and then bring their estranged daughter, Marla, home from rehab...that was the plan. But her husband suffers a frightening health crisis that forces them to extend their stay in Florida, and the long-prayed-for reconciliation between the Risings, their granddaughter, Noelle, and Marla must begin in a cramped and crowded retirement cottage. Tears, laughter, reminiscences and revelations abound as the family shares suppers, shopping, decorating, and lots of Scrabble. The Scrabble sessions provide a promising board for Monti, and she once again writes a magical story based on all the words played in one game. A powerful tale of courage and steadfast love in the deep forest, the new story spills from Monti's keyoard onto this book's pages as Monti steals time to write in between the moments of heartbreak and healing that suffuse their Christmas reunion.Can you hope for a happy future even if your past is a dreadful wreck? Montana Rising: Scrabble Weather, a hopeful story of faith, forgiveness, and reconciliation, says yes, you can.
Leeann Bonds
LeeAnn Bonds was raised an Air Force brat, and married an Army brat who couldn't give up the nomad life. They did settle in north Idaho for a time to raise their children, whom LeeAnn homeschooled all the way into college. The kids are grown, and she and her husband have flown the empty nest and returned to the wandering life. They currently live on Saipan, in the Northern Mariana Islands, where she's learning to love heat and humidity to a greater degree than she ever thought possible. LeeAnn has been writing since she discovered that telling stories was as much fun as reading them. She's written innumerable obscure online pieces, and has had published one short story and several magazine articles. She writes to encourage women to persevere through difficulties, and live a joyful life of faith, hope and love. Montana Rising, Wordplay is her first novel (not counting the inevitable first first novel which will likely never escape from her hard drive).
