CrossReads Short Takes

Wyoming Called

by Sharon K Connell

Someone wants to get their hands on Daniel Dunne’s land and isn’t particular how they go about it. Can Brett Gallagher help… even though there’s tension between him and Daniel’s granddaughter Crystal?

Brett could have had it made after inheriting half of a successful financial advisement firm in New York. Instead, devastated by his father’s death, the young man takes off on a cross-country motorcycle trip to find out what God wants of him,

Crystal keeps her grandfather’s home near Casper, Wyoming and takes care of her teenage sister, who is about to graduate high school. Crystal is gifted as an artist and pours her heart into creating works sold in shops and at town festivals. But she has a wounded heart.

Daniel had sold his successful business and retired several years ago. Since then, he has worked with his hands making wooden functional pieces, decorative items, and toys for hospitals, the underprivileged, and local festivals. But he has a problem. Age has caught up with his hands.

As Brett travels into Wyoming on his way to see Yellowstone, his and Crystal’s worlds collide… literally. Could this accident be the Godsend they all need?

Why I Am Me: Surviving Grief And Trauma

by Danielle Sternquist

I am a first time author and this book was created from a journal I worked on for 14 years. It was suggested by my counselor to write it in a chronological way to keep track and deal with hurts, abandonment, bullying and death. I wanted other people in similar situations to benefit from my loss and trauma that has been such a big part of my life. I am a Christian and was led to share my experiences and my downfalls with you. I am not perfect as you will see and I did not always feel close to God but God loves an imperfect person and you can see that as well. I hope that through my experiences you can see that life can get better with God, and a lot of work.
