What is the name of that series,or the author? That iis the kind of Christian
fiction I don't mind proofing, and if someone wanted to scan such books I'd be
willing to proof them (though I'm sure a lot of other people would, too and I
should probably proof books no one else wants to do.Years ago when I was able
to scan I submitted Cloudy Jewel by Grace Livingston Hill and I liked it a
lot. I see there are 13 of her books in the collection and based on Cloudy
Jewel, I heartily recommend them. They are enjoyable reads and subtly
christian virtues (small C intended; this Jewish adult enjoyed doing the book.
