Under His Wings

Benjamin Cooper Smith dreams of attending seminary, becoming a preacher and finding a godly woman to partner with him in ministry. Life takes a turn when he has to quit college and return home to run the family farm because of his dad's terminal illness. He finds himself involved with two women with questionable pasts: one struggling with guilt and insecurities and one with evil intentions. Despite Coop's high aspirations, things took an unexpected turn towards darkness and seduction. Only the sheltering protection of God's compassionate wings could keep him safe. "Under His Wings" is a Christian fiction love triangle of intriguing characters, each trying to find their place in the world.

The writing started out as a creative outlet during the COVID-19 quarantine. Rosemary had no intentions of publishing, but friends who read the manuscript encouraged her to take that next step. Rosemary hopes the Scriptures and songs within her novel will bring you peace and comfort during difficult times. Reading, Scripture, gardening and music have brought much joy to Rosemary throughout her life. Growing up in a small town in Iowa, she considers herself a country girl. It's only natural that her first novel would be about family life on the farm. Rosemary is a retired teacher, having dedicated over forty-five years to the education of young children as a teacher, family home childcare provider, and director of a childcare center. She has taught children from infancy through second grade, in addition to raising two sons and two stepdaughters. She particularly loved her years working with infants and toddlers in her home family daycare in Maryland, and her time with Early Head Start as a Child and Family Development Advocate in Missouri. Rosemary and her husband John live in Columbia, Missouri. With their four children and eight grandchildren scattered throughout the United States, they have devoted their retirement years to training and loving their two beautiful collies Regina Rose and Brynn.
