She’s eighteen. A visitor to a tornado-stricken town in need of help. Half of the residents think she’s a saint. The other half wants her dead. Who is she? Why do people want to kill her?
Brother Matt Golding is a store-front preacher in Oakton, the capital of Ohio. He sends a team of his young congregants to assist a friend, Pastor Phillip Mars, in Rallins, Indiana. The small farm community was devastated by a category three tornado. In the aftermath of the storm, Pastor Mars’s church burned to the ground.
But Collin Walker, the team’s youngest member, claims the church burned through arson. How can a barely eighteen-year-old possibly know that?
Know it she does. Now someone is afraid of the other small-town secrets she might expose. They are determined to have her injured and sent home. Failing that, they want her killed. What other skills does Walker have? Can they save her? Will they?
Colleen was born in Iowa, but grew up in the San Franciso (CA) Bay area during the 1960s and 70s. She started her working career at 17, dropping coupons in cereal boxes on the assembly line for Kellogg's. Since then she has worked in Hospital Pharmacy, Teaching (infant Day Care through College Math,) and Accounting (payable and receivables; more fun to take money in than send it out!) She spent four years in the US Air Force working on (now long outdated) nuclear missiles. She also earned her Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources in 1984 from St. Leo's College Military Extension Program. Colleen now lives in the Central Valley of California on a 5-acre "ranchette" owned by her sister, Sue. She lives with Sue, her mother, her other sister, Pat, two rescue dogs, one rescue pony, and one pony pony. She has two grown children, Katie and Bear. Bear is married and has her two grandchildren, Mara and Kaylynn. Colleen's story is for God's glory, always.
