Author Interview Who would enjoy this book? Anyone wishing to be inspired by the story of Jesus and the power of the Rosary! I wrote it particularly with young adults in mind, however, since the story revolves around a heartwarming relationship between a teenager, Jenna, and her elderly neighbor, Agnes, it speaks to people of all ages. This book is for you if: you feel disheartened because your family or friends have left the faith sometimes it seems that the Gospel and/or the Rosary are not relevant to the real problems of everyday life you wish to take a fresh look at the Christian faith you would like to develop or rekindle a love for the Rosary you pray the Rosary but could use some inspiration to continue you want to be inspired by a touching relationship between a teenager and her elderly neighbor you just want to read a good book that weaves together the story of Jesus and contemporary spiritual questions Why did you write this book? I wrote it for three main reasons. First, to encourage those who might feel far from God to take another look at the Christian faith.  Second, to inspire those who pray the Rosary and know its power, but could use some inspiration to persevere or to pick it back up. And third, I wanted to find a creative way to help remind people of how close God really is. God can feel so distant but in reality, He couldn’t be closer! What makes this book unique? Agnes’ Gift takes a fresh look at the Christian faith through the eyes of a struggling, agnostic teenager. It teaches about God’s amazing love and mercy through a compelling story. Jenna’s journey with her guardian angel through the mysteries of the Rosary might be extraordinary, but having a life-changing encounter with Christ is something many Christians can relate to.
