Abigail van der Velde was born and raised in North Carolina, lived in New York City, and then married a Dutchman and moved to the Netherlands, where she lived for eight years. After experience in both journalism and editing, she is now pleased to present her first book.
There were moments when I had the impression that I was reading a
story of my parents' family--how I was raised. I enjoyed reading
this very much.--Hein Schaaij great-nephew of Johanna Kuyper. He is
92 years old, had a long career in international finance, headed up
the War on Drugs in Europe, and was active in the Dutch resistance
during WWII. He is the father of 12 (I think) and the grandfather
and great-grant-father of lots more.
What could modern-day teenagers possibly have in common with the
Kuyper family? The Byrd women found that maybe one of the biggest
impacts of Abigail van der Velde's biographical novel is the way it
made us consider how we glorify and honor the Lord by living
faithfully according to the unique personalities and gifts he has
so graciously designed each of us to use in order to contribute to
his service. In that way, we sharpen one another and display a
fuller picture of Christ.--Aimee Byrd, Author of Housewife
Theologian; and her daughters Solanna and Zaidee
