Book excerpt: Amber-Rose Collier had a rough childhood, and if it were not for her faith, the chains of addiction that held her parents would bind her too. She found Jesus at an early age and was blessed to be adopted by Christian parents. They take her away from the orphanage in the impoverished coal-mining town where she was born and her mother was killed during one of her father's drunken rages. Amber loves her new family but is without her older sister and younger brother, who had been adopted separately. Then, just one year after her older sister found her, she is blinded in an accident. Her sister, filled with guilt, stays out of her life. Amber pushes away her fiance, convinced it would be unfair to marry him. With the help of the Braille Institute, she sees herself in a new light and decides to marry Mason Powell. They have children, even though his mother is against it. She would endure other trials, which only served to strengthen her faith. She and her daughter, Rae, become beacons of hope in their community. Night Blooming Jasmine is the first book in the Shadow of the Steeples series. "Lisa Keck's debut novel, Night Blooming Jasmine, is hauntingly sweet, much like its title. From the first page until the last, Keck carries her readers along on a painful but positive journey, one that brings victory from ashes and triumph from heartache. I look forward to more offerings from this talented author " -Kathi Macias (www.kathimacias.com), multi-award-winning author of forty books, including Golden Scrolls 2011 Novel of the Year, Red Ink
