SIDELIGHTS:

Kathleen Scott told CA: "As a Christian, I longed to read novels that addressed the difficult issues I had faced in my life. Back in 1995, when I began writing A Test of Love, books like these were hard to find. I hope to write novels that will entertain readers while encouraging them to make choices in their lives that will honor God.

"I was inspired to set my series of books in the lovely Christian retreat center at Mount Hermon, California, since I lived there with my family from 1987 until 1992."
