I found that theythe characters I developed and the way that they evolved in my mind and on the pageserved me well as a consideration of how I sensed things are happening in the scriptural text at hand. I want to make these stories and the world they represent newly available, and so I bring them to book form, fifty at a time. The cover drawing was done by Eve Sullivan, the author's granddaughter.
