Wind-borne Sister Melinda Holland

Publisher Marketing: Wind-Borne Sister narrates the story of a young woman's journey from grief and an uncertain future into a sense of purpose, hope, and identity. Along Brie's travels, the people and resources she encounters contribute to her unfolding sense of call and her growing, vibrant faith. As she is drawn deeper into a risk-filled mystery, she is blessed by the aid of Susannah, a wise, blind artist; precocious seven-year-old Lily Mae; and the tender and resourceful Toby Graham. Despite conflict and an ever-present danger, Brie's Christian beliefs, vital friendships, and mystical gift of healing carry her forward in unexpected and dynamic ways. In the midst of adventures and challenges, Wind-Borne Sister showcases the importance of trusting one's heart, the rich gift of life in community, and the stunning and steadfast power of prayer. ""Wind-Borne Sister is a fresh, new entry into the young women's faith adventure category. It is a novel meant both for entertainment and inspiration. It depicts the story of a young woman's journey as she travels from enduring a sense of rejection and alienation into a mature place of belonging. . . . Her adventures lead her from a very independent, but insecure and lonely life, to one of interdependence, faith, and hope. Throughout the story, she relies on her faith to see her through, and God brings to her the people and resources that clarify her call as the days pass."" --Larry Shelton, Professor Emeritus, George Fox Evangelical Seminary Melinda Holland's writing grows out of her deep love for Jesus Christ and her desire to bear witness to his steadfast love and faithfulness.
