Pennsylvania to New Mexico in January of 1975. With no resolute plan, no job skills, and no promise of income, her dismal prospects were more attractive than the abuse she left behind.

Annie quickly encountered a dangerous ice storm she would battle for more than one thousand miles. Lofty goals to provide her children with at least one healthy parent, but with no clear-cut path, were fraught with overwhelming challenges—many serious, some humorous, and some joyful—in a time when social services were not yet on the scene.

But this was a woman the Lord destined for His purposes. Their meeting and walk together make a remarkable story, marked with the supernatural workings of a loving, merciful God, faithful to His promises.

A Holy Kaleidoscope is a hopeful story of a mother’s mission to provide a better life for her children and herself. On this journey, Annie grows in her faith and learns to rely on Jesus as she navigates the challenges of life as a divorced single mom.

Her story shows that when we give our broken pieces to the Lord, He will put them back together into marvelous and radiant gems, complete with redemption. .
