New Releases by Heidi S. Sheppard

When nine year-old Jason Steward becomes the owner of a baby mongoose, he is sure that he can take care of him and keep him out of trouble. But Pepper is as full of life and spice as Liberian hot pepper and Jason soon finds himself in a dilemma only God, through prayer, can solve. But where is God when Jason prays? 

Missionary author Nancy Sheppard and her photographer daughter Heidi team up to create a fanciful and colorful Liberian tale. Not unlike the real-life adventures of Heidi and her four siblings as they enjoyed their childhoods in Africa, this coming-of-age story has at its heart a lovable family pet. The engaging narrative in combination with the beauty of the photos will delight readers of all ages.
