Diamonds In the Dust ~ by Shirley Mowat Tucker

This book is a moving story about christian love, forgiveness and faith.  The main character, Mrs. Morgan finds herself as a unwilling foster parent to a group of orphans.  She friends them and becomes involved in a mystery of events that lead her into deeper and deeper involvement with these helpless children.  The book takes on a life of its own and the reader becomes totally involved in this story.  I highly recommend this book to teenagers and adults alike!  Story based on life in South Africa.

This book is the Grand Prize Winner of Athanatos Christian Ministry's First Annual Christian Novel Contest and it is just going into print...I had the honor of receiving a review edition, and submitting a book review.   Look for it coming soon.   Athanatos Publishing Group ISBN 978-0-9822776-9-0

  1. I loved this review, and can't wait to get my hands on a copy.  What a heart-warming and great coming of age story. Anytime a writer can literally bring you into their story and make you feel as though you are there, is an amazing experience for the reader. 
    I was especially taken with how Mrs. Morgan went from being an unwilling foster parent, to being immersedin the lives of these children. Such a beautiful and touching book.Thank you for the wonderful review! Can't wait to read it!
