Ledger

by Susan Wheeler

The many meanings of economy are the ground for the mediation and lament of Ledger, Susan Wheeler's fourth book. In its Greek origins, economy referred to the stewardship of a household and, as it developed, the word also came to include aspects of government and of religious faith. Ledger places an individual's crisis of spirituality and personal stewardship, or management of her resources, against a backdrop of a culture that has focused its economy on financial gain and has misspent its own tangible and intangible resources.

About the author

Susan Wheeler is the creator of Victoria Rose and her compatriots of Holly Pond Hill, an exquisitely detailed watercolour world of gentle creatures.

From her earliest days growing up in New England, Susan Wheeler explored the outdoors to discover the secret places where animals lived. Here she first imagined tiny brick cottages and moss-covered tree houses inhabited by woodland creatures. With her careful brushwork -- some brushes only a single bristle wide -- Susan creates a nostalgic wonderland in incredible detail, one we would all love to enter if only we could find the magic door in the hedgerow! Inspired by the beauty she finds all around her, she believes that the purpose of art is to reflect the glory and goodness of God, the original Artist who painted the world with love and life. And Susan desires, most ardently, to pass this beauty along to everyone who pauses over her work.

Ms. Wheeler resides in Fredericksburg, Texas, where she lives with her husband, Mark, their four children, and their numerous pets and farm animals. In her free time, she runs her very own Bed & Breakfast named after her magical fantasy world.
