The invitation of the "House of. . ." book series is to connect more deeply with God, Soul, Spirit, and your own inner voice. We create from our own faith traditions and experiences, but the messages are universal. Our goal is to connect in a way that conveys a deeper meaning, a higher purpose, and something that touches or creates insight for the reader.House of Light is an anthology of works submitted by covenant partners and supporters of Retreat House in Richardson, Texas. Works include personal narratives, essays, and poetry. The book''s theme explores our relationships to light and darkness, to joy and pain, to hope and challenge.

The Hessemans have become a much loved family through the historical novel, The Picnickers. Readers question, "What happened to all of them? How did life treat them?" The answer could be, "Quite well, thank you," but that is far too simple. Each Picnicker, though bountifully blessed, met and was led through countless life struggles. As transpires in real life, we do not know the outcome of the next chapter as the last closes, but faith, hope, and charity live on. While The Picnickers tracked a real but fictionalized family, A Blanket Benediction spins off perhaps the most illusory of The Picnickers'' plot segments, becoming a work of absolute fiction. Still the Hesseman heart and soul persist. Once again, you are invited to accompany a northwesterly journey on which Callie follows a passion and then veers off into her own orbit. Genetics cast aside, she bears the banner of pioneer determination, curiosity, and adventure, supported by Clint, whose background provides an unlikely complement. As a team, they come to personify the triumph of the fruits of the Spirit over human frailty and failure. Soon to come Miracle Downs, third in a series by the same author, will bring to life a trial of the picnicker "faith that will not shrink" as Clint and Callie realize his life dream and fall in love with their challenging, yet gifted, special child.
