Not very good at horror stories.

I served at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem as a volunteer and have written that experience into my debut book, Love at the Garden Tomb.

How do God's mercy and grace come upon me?

Some scenes depicted in this book take place in real life. The divergence hinged on the visa to Hong Kong. While Lily didn’t get it, I did and went to Hong Kong to marry my husband.
Throughout our marriage, I often wonder. If God hadn’t intervened, what would have happened? “Someday, I’m going to write a book in which the heroine didn’t get her visa to Hong Kong.”
That was how Love at the Garden Tomb came into being.
Why should readers pick up this book? I'll let two reviews (on Amazon) answer the question.
"This book kept me interested from page one. Lily and Josh thought they'd lost their chance to be together but fate (or the hand of God) gave them a second chance. Interesting plot, great description of a fabulous location. Read this book for a faith filled and satisfying love story with a happily ever after. RF Whong tells a great story."
"I was transported into a world that I knew very little about. I enjoyed learning more about Asian culture and devout Christianity. I found this novel both insightful as well as entertaining. The hurdles our MCs had to overcome crossed cultural barriers and reminded the reader that love can be "meant to be" even if it can be challenging to cross the finish line."

I didn’t come from a Christian family and traversed a long and winding road to becoming a Christian. I’ve written some of my experiences into my two books, Love at the Garden Tomb and Confessions of a Pastor’s wife. Lily's faith journey in Love at the Garden Tomb is a true account of my own personal testimony.

Yes. One reviewer said it well, "This story of Lily and Josh gives us a glimpse of Christianity in a different culture, yet so many of the issue and struggles they face are common to everyone’s life. The questions they seek answers for transcends cultures and will be familiar to most, while the Biblical answers intertwined in this captivating story are clear and informative. The descriptions of the sites in Jerusalem allowed me to share in the wonder with the characters as they visited them ..."

I’m married to my wonderful husband, a retired pastor who encourages me to pursue my dreams. We served together at three different churches from 1987 to 2020. During his last sabbatical a few years ago, we worked as volunteers at the Garden Tomb. I’ve incorporated my experiences there into Love at the Garden Tomb.
