Bøger af Konnie Meyer

Cries for "Help!" A spooky old mansion, a mysterious woman dressed in black, beckoning to come closer. This is the backdrop in which cousins Tessa and Jake work together to save children held captive in cages behind the McFog Mansion. Tessa, confined to a wheelchair, solves the mystery. In the end she gains confidence and finds the independence she's been seeking. Konnie Meyer and Karen Weick are sisters, who for many years enjoyed exchanging book ideas over coffee. Both are former educators, currently calling the small, rural community of Hamler, Ohio home. Each is the parent of three grown children and a proud grandparent. With a mother who was a librarian, and a father who dabbled in poetry, they grew up with a love for reading and writing. Through their storytelling, they hope to inspire young readers to develop the same passion for books.

This book is written by a gray-haired grandma who's lived long enough to know that over time, memories fade. Keeping this in mind, the stories in this book attempt to chronicle the craziness, document the drama and officially put into print her observations. As a result, 32 of the 34 short stories paint a panoramic picture with words; a light-hearted, lasting portrait of one family's history. It's a sure bet, more than just members of the baby boomer brigade will enjoy reading this tribute to family, faith, and fun. Konnie Meyer is a retired teacher/grandmother/farm wife who enjoys writing a weekly column for a local newspaper. She is the mother of three grown children and enjoys spoiling her nine grandchildren, AKA "The Country Cousins." Married to her high school sweetheart, Konnie and her husband, Bruce, enjoy an active but peaceful life on their family farm with two dogs in rural northwest Ohio.
