Book Cover & Preview Text
After breakfast one morning, Maria told us that Julia’s father had come home very late the night before and was resting. His room was on the first floor. We quietly went to the library to start the lessons. However, Julia’s mind was only on her father. She wouldn’t pay attention to any of the lessons.
Before an hour had passed, Maria told us that he was eating breakfast. When Julia heard that, she got up quickly and ran to him. I remained in the library and tried to relax. I was very nervous about meeting my employer for the first time.
An hour later, Julia came to tell me that her father wanted to see me in the sitting room.
I took Julia by the hand, and we went in together. When we entered the room, he stood up and extended his hand.

About the Author
I was born in Romania, where I lived with my husband and children until we immigrated to America in 1984. We put down roots in California and we live there still in Granite Bay. Me, my husband, and children are Christians and are active members of our church community. I love my family, my church, my garden, and writing, of course! Ever since I was a young girl I had a passion for reading and writing. I always wanted to write a book, but the busyness of life distracted me and though I still read, I did not write my own books. Time passed and my children grew up and became more independent, which gave me time to sit and write down the stories that swirled in my mind. This book is the product of my labors and I hope you enjoy it. God bless you!
