December 18, 1966 Grace Rose McFarlane, a long-time resident of the small town of Yacolt, Washington, and the middle McLeod sister, is dying. Her very last act is to leave a cryptic handwritten warning for her great-granddaughter, who will be arriving soon for Christmas break: Julia, the lion will destroy you. But what does the note mean? Julia wonders as she grieves the death of the one woman who has loved her unconditionally. Through a stack of yellowing letters and journals in her grandmother's attic, Julia pieces together a shocking tale of rebellion and betrayal...and is determined to track down the truth. The tangled web she finds will forever alter her perspective on her family...and may save her from making a heartbreaking mistake of her own. Includes the Christmas story, What Do You Say to a King? featured by Focus on the Family. This story of a prodigal, and the family who loved her, will feed your soul and warm your heart. -MARION DUCKWORTH, author of Naked on God's Doorstep
