How do people of faith continue to believe when bad things happen to them, or is there ever a moment when they waiver? In 2001, Stephanie Hensley and her husband Jimmy were anticipating the arrival of their second daughter. Their oldest daughter had a visitor in the night who carried a message for the family that would prove to be a message leading to the ultimate pain this side of heaven, the loss of a child. When the Lilacs Bloom tells the powerful story of one family's journey through the loss of a child, financial ruin and real marital struggles that would test anyone's faith. This story takes you through their path of loss, grief, bitterness all while finding faith in the midst. They discovered life isn't about what gets handed to you but what you do with it. Who was this visitor? What did he look like? What was his message? As you read their story, you will learn not only what his message was for their daughter, but for them and everyone who learns their story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One woman, an impossible dream, and the faith it took to see it through, inspired by the life of Hulda Klager German immigrant and farm wife Hulda Klager possesses only an eighth-grade education—and a burning desire to create something beautiful. What begins as a hobby to create an easy-peeling apple for her pies becomes Hulda’s driving purpose: a time-consuming interest in plant hybridization that puts her at odds with family and community, as she challenges the early twentieth-century expectations for a simple housewife. Through the years, seasonal floods continually threaten to erase her Woodland, Washington garden and a series of family tragedies cause even Hulda to question her focus. In a time of practicality, can one person’s simple gifts of beauty make a difference? Based on the life of Hulda Klager, Where Lilacs Still Bloom is a story of triumph over an impossible dream and the power of a generous heart. “Beauty matters… it does. God gave us flowers for a reason. Flowers remind us to put away fear, to stop our rushing and running and worrying about this and that, and for a moment, have a piece of paradise right here on earth.”

Book excerpt: Horses, history and lilacs are interwoven in Mackinac Island's fabric. The iconic blossoms grow all over the island, from back alleys to the Grand Hotel's hillside to entire hedges at British Landing. The crown jewel is Marquette Park with nearly 115 plants and about 75 varieties. During lilac time in June, a fragrant canopy of color rises as high as 18 feet on the oldest lilacs. Strong winds off the lake have twisted and turned the gnarled branches of these old giants for more than 200 years. Nowhere else on the planet can you find such architecture as this in a lilac. LILACS: A Fortnight of Fragrance on Mackinac Island takes you on a photographic tour of lilacs unfolding in island gardens while sharing insight on when lilacs were first planted here, why they thrive in Mackinac Island's climate, how they inspire artists, and the efforts of Islanders to celebrate and sustain these beautiful plants.
