A Matter of Trust
Engineers of
Flight Series Book 1
(Fiction)
308 pages - $21.99 (softcover)
Stanford
University is out of reach for most Colorado teens in 1939.
The opportunity to gain an education there is beyond
nineteen-year-old Dena Caulter's wildest rural dreams. Yet
Uncle Walter, a professor at the prestigious university,
extends an open door to his home as well as the Howard
Hughes Aeronautics program, and Dena is more than willing to
spread her wings. Upon arriving in California, Dena feels
her rustic roots showing but easily adapts to a more
sophisticated lifestyle alongside her cousins, Emily and
Stuart. Life may be offering opportunities and fun Dena
never thought existed, but her naïve world is about to get a
huge dose of reality. Uncle Walter is chosen to work with
Howard Hughes in Virginia as part of an elite, top secret
team working on NACA technology, and the move threatens to
break up the family with the mention of an unfathomable
divorce. Talk of war also breaks up the previously pleasant
conversations and laughter that once provided the soundtrack
for gatherings between Dena and friends. With opinions
voiced, she worries that the boy she secretly has a crush
on—Clay—will be whisked away before she gets the chance to
truly know him. Even her beloved brother wants to join a war
effort she has yet to understand. Studying blueprints no
longer offers the intriguing escape it once held for Dena.
Struggling to find balance in a life moving faster than one
of Mr. Hughes' airplanes, Dena must hold on to the Christian
values her mother always instilled in her youth, especially
when the bright future of her friends and family begins to
dim under the threat of war and A Matter of Trust.

His
Grace is Enough
(Christian Fiction)
About the Book - PDF
format
Can
a fifteen-year-old girl, facing a bleak existence on her
own, survive the rural life of 1868 Kansas? Join author
Sherry Porter in her first book, His Grace Is Enough, as she
shares the story of Carrie Nelson. When a terrible epidemic
sweeps across the plains, bringing sickness and death to
friends and neighbors, Carrie's own beloved parents fall
victim. In a matter of days, she finds herself orphaned,
desolate, and solely responsible for running the family
farm.
Although she was raised in a Christian home, Carrie quickly begins to question a God who would let her parents suffer and die. Can a kindly, thirty-year-old widower, with three young children of his own, help Carrie see that God is not the one who caused her grief, but is the one who can help her through it?
This emotional and uplifting story will draw you in and tug at your heart. Experience the joys and sorrows of this disheartened young woman, as she learns the truth about our loving Father—that His Grace Is Enough.
Sherry Porter lives in Guthrie, Oklahoma with her husband and youngest daughter. She graduated from Guthrie, where she enjoyed taking creative writing classes. After taking a writing course, years later, she decided to try her hand at writing a novel. Her hobbies have always included reading, but her greatest passion was to be a writer. Sherry also enjoys camping, traveling, and being with her family.
