The "Helen" series of five books brings generations together. "Little Helen" Keen, her family and friends prove again and again, that God cares for his children of all ages. He has a plan for each of us and knows what will happen, even before we do. Helen continually prays for others and for herself, and God answers those prayers. Maybe He doesn't answer them the way we think they should be answered, but it is always in a way that is best for us. These are the lessons to be learned by various characters, as they live through the pages of my books. There are hard times and problems to solve, rollicking good times, holidays and celebrations of all kinds. Come, join us in a small Indiana town, starting with "Helen's Special Christmas" and ending with the book you are holding in your hand. May God bless you
