The Seekers

About the Book

Melissa’s life was dramatically changed in May of 1864, when her parents James and Tessa Fuller were killed by Sherman’s troops, who had begun their fiery march through Georgia. Up until then, this typical Southern girl lived with her shopkeeper parents. Her mother homeschooled Melissa, teaching her about world history, reading, and writing. During her spare time, she loved to explore the woods around her home. It wasn’t until her mother’s death that Melissa learned Tessa’s secret, who she really was, and where she came from. With Tessa’s death, she passed her gifts along to Melissa. The day Melissa woke up on an examination table was a real shocker, but there was more to come! As she began to realize her own destiny, her eyes were opened wide to the reality of the heavy responsibility that now rested on her shoulders and the awesome legacy her mother had left her.

About the Author

W. McGrain lives in west Georgia, about one hour from Atlanta. She loves to read and write, but it was her father who helped to create in her a desire to become a writer. When she was a little girl he used to make up stories for bedtime about all kinds of adventures, and she would fall asleep, dreaming of the adventure. He was a great storyteller; it was the passion and the imagination that he put into these stories that inspired her to follow her dream. As she grew older, life got in the way, as it did for everyone, and her future plans to be a writer was put on hold even though she did not give up writing. Now W. McGrain has been given another chance for a new adventure. She hopes that this first book will lead to many more.
