Words by Ginny Yttrup


This week, the
Christian Fiction Blog Alliance
is introducing
Words
B&H Books (February 1, 2011)
by
Ginny Yttrup


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Ginny Yttrup is an author, freelance writer, and writing coach. As she writes, speaks, and coaches, her prayer is that God will use her words to replace the lies so many believe about themselves with the truth of His unconditional love and grace. To see someone grasp, perhaps for the first time, the truth of God's love, is truly an honor. Through a relationship with the Truth, Jesus Christ, the bonds of shame are loosed and freedom abounds!

When Ginny is not working, she loves spending time with her two college-age sons or with friends. She is surrounded by the most amazing people--each a gift in their own way. If she can spend time outdoors with those she love, it's even better. And she thoroughly adores her dog, Bear. He's a book lover too.

She has two grown sons and lives near Sacramento, California. Words is her first novel.

ABOUT THE BOOK

"I collect words. I keep them in a box in my mind. I'd like to keep them in a real box, something pretty, maybe a shoe box covered with flowered wrapping paper. Whenever I wanted, I'd open the box and pick up the papers, reading and feeling the words all at once. Then I could hide the box. But the words are safer in my mind. There, he can't take them."

Ten-year old Kaylee Wren doesn't speak. Not since her drug-addled mother walked away, leaving her in a remote cabin nestled in the towering redwoods-in the care of a man who is as dangerous as he is evil. With silence her only refuge, Kaylee collects words she might never speak from the only memento her mother left behind: a dictionary.

Sierra Dawn is thirty-four, an artist, and alone. She has allowed the shame of her past to silence her present hopes and chooses to bury her pain by trying to control her circumstances. But on the twelfth anniversary of her daughter's death, Sierra's control begins to crumble as the God of her childhood woos her back to Himself.

    Hi Bonnie,

    How are you? Long time no hear from.:-)
    Very funny post!

    I was just visiting your web site where you answer questions concerning blogger templates and such. And I have a question that I couldn't get answered on your site.

    I just redesigned my photography blog, using an XML template. At the top of the blog are the following pages: HOME, POST RSS, COMMENTS RSS, and EDIT. I would like to rename these pages to HOME, MY GEAR, MY BLOG and activate the pages.

    When I click on the POST RSS AND COMMENTS RSS, nothing happens. When I click on EDIT, I'm taken to the template designer's blog. Very strange. Can you tell me how to rename these pages and activate them? I know I will have to edit the HTML code. I've gotten quite an education lately on how to do that. Not easy stuff.

    My URL is http://judysphotogallery.blogspot.com. Thank you so much.

    Blessings,
    Judy

    Go to your Dashboard, click New Post, when that page opens, click edit pages. This post aught to help with that.
