Beauty and the Presence Deborah Collins

She was a miracle at birth, born into a well-to-do family who longed for a daughter to complete their lives. Called Beauty, she was a whimsical child who saw a kingdom in her small town of Promise and herself as a princess warrior defending loved ones. Yet what Beauty treasured most was hearing her beloved father reading to her from his Book of Wisdom and pray regularly to an eternal Presence. This life changed for Beauty, in Deborah Collins' new Christian novel Beauty and the Presence, when her parents' were killed in a car accident and her brother disappeared into the military. Alone and sad, Beauty sought love in the wrong arms, primarily in men and materialism, and saw her life fall into the hands of the Evil One. All seemed lost, but the eternal Presence never left Beauty's side and proved to her she was born for greater purposes.
