About the author

Rebekah A. Morris has lived her entire life (as of now) in Missouri. Being home educated during her school years was great, except for writing. That was the worst subject (along with math) that she had to do. It wasn't until after she graduated that she discovered the joys and wonder of writing. Now she can't write enough. After spending six years in research and writing, she completed her first book, "Home Fires of the Great War," a 500+ page, historical fiction about home life in the United States and Canada during the First World War. Since then, she has been an avid writer and always has more than one story going on at once because only one story at a time got tiring and dull.

Awh, I loved this story! It hooked me right in.

I read it in about five or ten minutes, and, though it was short, the story didn't really feel rushed, as some other shorter stories do. I loved that Valerie enjoyed taking in injured baby animals, so sweet!

And what a lovely reminder that God can use absolutely anything for good --even the beasts.

Definitely recommended! :)

I found the little story very enjoyable, but frankly that big cat was freaking me out, so I can't honestly say it was pleasure only during my reading! :) The ending was very good, with a clear spiritual lesson. Would be an excellent read-aloud for a family.

This was such a great story!!! It reminded me of a short version of Rebekah's "Triple Creek Ranch" series! I loved how the main girl enjoyed taking in abandoned or hurt animals! I could tell her husband wasn't too impressed! ;)

Great short story

This story is well written with vivid images. The author portrays how God used amber animal to change the course of human lives, but does so without a preachy tone.

Really good story. Yes, the the creatures around us work for God, for His good. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

I loved it... (except the very last paragraph, which I had to sob over for a second... but I liked every bit of the rest of it!) Clean read for adults and children alike.

Sometimes things aren't what they seem. I appreciate the message in this story - it made me think about different experiences that we face and how we perceive them. I really enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more.

I really liked this short story! Great reminder that God can use anything to accomplish His purposes--even a persistent mountain lion. :)

3 stars & 3/10 hearts. I enjoyed the appearance of Scat, and the pioneer lifestyle was pleasant to read about. I was a little confused by the conclusion though... But the descriptions were lovely, as usual.

A Favourite Quote: “...he stepped over to the ladder wishing he had thought to grab his gun. ‘But who would have thought I’d need a gun to hitch the team to the wagon,’ he thought grimly.”
