About Eloise Schroder, Webmaster of The Christian Fiction Site:
Ellie has loved Christian fiction for many years, after being introduced to it back in 1990. She developed "The Christian
Fiction Site" back in 1998 under the former title "Ellie's World of Christian Fiction" after seeing the need for an online
resource site for readers to become more familiar with Christian fiction titles on the market. Since then, she has maintained
the site in her own spare time, as well as juggling a full-time job with GPH Wholesale, a distributor of Christian literature, and being
part of the worship team in her local church. Ellie lives in Palmerston North, New Zealand, with Dion, her husband of
more than 10 years.

Lights of Lowell . . .
By Tracie Peterson & Judith McCoy Miller
From famine-stricken Ireland to the mill towns of 1840s Massachusetts, faith, hope, and hard work knit new lives in the New World!
#1: A Tapestry Of Hope (2004)
Bethany House Publishers
Southern belle Jasmine reluctantly leaves Virginia to marry textile investor Bradley, only to find he's really after her family's cotton plantations---and her maid, Kiara. Will Bradley's schemes unravel before both women are destroyed?
#2: A Love Woven True (2004)
Bethany House Publishers
Jasmine Houston, a widow with a young son, agrees to harbor former slaves at her horse farm outside of Lowell, even though her father, a plantation owner, supports slavery. When a boardinghouse keeper unwittingly becomes involved with a traveling peddler who sells something infinitely more valuable than shoes, Jasmine is devastated to discover that her son and the former slaves have been kidnapped. Jasmine's determination to free them threatens to undo her family as well as the ties that bind the burgeoning textile industry to the southern cotton growers.
#3: The Pattern Of Her Heart (2005)
Bethany House Publishers
When tragedy strikes, Jasmine Houston must uproot her family from the Northern mill town of Lowell and take over her family's Southern plantation, The Willows. But upon her arrival, her anti-slavery positions cause strife between Jasmine and her neighbors and relatives. Tensions continue to rise until an explosive act--the burning of The Willows--causes Jasmine and Nolan to flee north. But the lives of the slaves they've promised to protect hang in the balance.
