DiAnn Mills has many heroes. She's written romance and suspense, fiction and non-fiction, historical and contemporary, novellas and full-length novels. If you looked for a list of her awards, you might find:
“Six of her anthologies have appeared on the CBA Best Seller List. Three of her books have won the distinction of Best Historical of the Year by Heartsong Presents. Five of her books have won placements through American Christian Fiction Writer’s Book of the Year Awards 2003 – 2007, and she is the recipient of the Inspirational Reader’s Choice award for 2005 and 2007. She was a Christy Awards finalist in 2008.”
This month, three of her stories are finalists in the American Christian Fiction Writers 2008 Book of the Year contest: When the Nile Runs Red in the Long Contemporary category, Mississippi Mud in the Contemporary Novella category, and Beyond the Memories in the Historical Novella category.
When I read Mills’ When the Nile Runs Red, I found Larson Farid’s complicated situation very touching. If you haven’t read it, look for the book online. Here’s my review :
This is a book of conflict. Paul and Larson Farid are happily married, but wonder if they should run for their lives or stay in the danger zone where God has placed them.
This is a book of love. Larson finds herself caring for a baby that isn’t hers. She can’t just let it die.
This is a book of spiritual hunger. Paul’s brother may want to convert to Christianity, but Paul doesn’t know if this is just a ploy to trick him into getting the torturous death his family has been plotting against him for years.
Again my heart goes out to Colonel Ben Alier. He keeps fighting the stirrings in his heart. His troubles cause permanent changes to his life. Some good changes and some not.
This captivating sequel to DiAnn Mills’ When the Lion Roars brings us up to date on the characters’ emotional struggles and breaks our hearts for the people of Sudan.
