From the book’s back outside cover...
Mrs. Anderson loves her little house and herb garden,
near the forest. Her dearest possession, however,
is a big orange cat, whom she calls “Tabby.” What
she doesn’t know is that her Tabby
is actually “Ringtail” to all his animal
friends.
There is another secret of which Mrs. Anderson is unaware.
Who is the mysterious
rose, that grows in the woods? The animals know! Finally,
who is the merry, but
ancient, beggar who comes and goes so gently, but powerfully,
in their midst?
This simple, but engaging, tale of Ringtail and his friends
embodies eternal

and, of course, love...the
eternal kind.

MoonBeam
The
second book of Sister Rebecca Mary’s new trilogy
of books
for children ages 8-12.
From the book’s back outside cover…
Maggie the mouse makes her first appearance in this book. Ringtail wonders with scorn if a mouse wearing glasses and reading a dictionary can be normal and therefore a good meal? The answer is “No.”
She is not normal. She is special and therefore cannot be eaten. Ringtail is barely convinced of this fact when real danger threatens. Some animal is causing wide-spread destruction in Mrs. Anderson’s rose gar-den. What could it be? A badger! This unwelcome creature is not only big but mean and angry.
How will Zatfur, for that is his name, fit into the daily lives of the gentle and loving animals? Will they reject him or will he be able to change and fit in? The magic of MoonBeam comes over him to provide the healing he needs. MoonBeam is not a what but a who, not a thing, but a person.
MoonBeam is a dazzling princess from the Land of Beyond. Meet Maggie, Zatfur and MoonBeam as they interact with the characters you came to know and love first in The Midnight Rose.
MoonBeam is the second book of a trilogy
The story begins in The Midnight Rose and concludes in The Fire King.
The book has 80 pages with illustrations in black ink and pen by the author. The paperback book has a colorful laminated cover and sturdy binding; size 5 1/2” x 8 1/2.”

A Week of Solitude and Silence
by Nancy VanDyken
From the book’s back outside cover…
“When I close my eyes and open my heart, I am once
again back at Marymount Hermitage. I am renewed
with the flooding of grace received during my week in solitude.
My
beloved Lord made Himself known in ways beyond my imagining.
Incredible symbols unfolded daily. Scripture burned
like fire within. Deep quiet helped me to hear God’s voice and sacred
language. All brought life and love. I now feel
grounded, steady and at peace. I continue to receive reassurance
and confirmation that the abundant spiritual
gifts from Marymount are mine for the keeping. I am deeply
grateful. I want to come again.”
If
you have been here on retreat, this will be a keepsake
book for you to recall the graces you received.
If you have never been to Marymount, this will be a virtual
tour. This absolutely beautiful, coffee-table style
color photo book is a contemplative experience to read
and view. The photographs were expertly taken at the
height of spring, abundant with wildflowers, and captions
are scriptural.
The
book has 150 pages, is hardbound with a sturdy, colored
dust jacket; size 8” x 10.”
