ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mary E. DeMuth is an expert in Pioneer Parenting. She enables Christian parents to navigate our changing culture when their families left no good faith examples to follow.<\/p>\n

Her parenting books include Authentic Parenting in a Postmodern Culture (Harvest House, 2007), Building the Christian Family You Never Had (WaterBrook, 2006), and Ordinary Mom, Extraordinary God (Harvest House, 2005).<\/p>\n

Mary also inspires people to face their trials through her real-to-life novels, Watching The Tree Limbs<\/a>
\n(nominated for a Christy Award) and Wishing On Dandelions<\/a> (NavPress, 2006).<\/p>\n

Mary has spoken at Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference, the ACFW Conference, the Colorado Christian Writers Conference, and at various churches and church planting ministries. Mary and her husband, Patrick, reside in Texas with their three children. They recently returned from breaking new spiritual ground in Southern France, and planting a church.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The abrupt disappearance of young Daisy Chance from a small Texas town in 1973 spins three lives out of control\u2014Jed, whose guilt over not protecting his friend Daisy strangles him; Emory Chance, who blames her own choices for her daughter\u2019s demise; and Ouisie Pepper, who is plagued by headaches while pierced by the shattered pieces of a family in crisis.<\/p>\n

In this first book in the Defiance, Texas Trilogy, fourteen-year-old Jed Pepper has a sickening secret: He\u2019s convinced it\u2019s his fault his best friend Daisy went missing. Jed\u2019s pain sends him on a quest for answers to mysteries woven through the fabric of his own life and the lives of the families of Defiance, Texas. When he finally confronts the terrible truths he\u2019s been denying all his life, Jed must choose between rebellion and love, anger and freedom.<\/p>\n

Daisy Chain is an achingly beautiful southern coming-of-age story crafted by a bright new literary talent. It offers a haunting yet hopeful backdrop for human depravity and beauty, for terrible secrets and God\u2019s surprising redemption.<\/p>\n
