It was a challenge to write a romance around the eviction of the Ponca tribe - no one writes romances set in the Holocaust, or Killing Fields of Cambodia, or during the genocide in Sudan. Through Rushing Water was fueled by my mission trips to Jamaica. A mission trip is a great place to check out a potential spouse - how does this person act when all is lost, when conditions are grim and hopeless. But at the same time, how can anyone feel happy against the background of such poverty? <br />Many of the preacher's words were taken from writings of the 1870s - infuriating! But what an awful job this minister had - trying to convince people God loves them when everything's gone wrong and they are starving to death. <br />The TN cover artists used some location photos I took - but I never imagined how beautiful it would look!<br />Blessings on your mission, Casey!Cathy Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275758996612230885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-69823072712833994502012-07-11T07:02:51.781-07:002012-07-11T07:02:51.781-07:00Great review, Casey.
