PublishAmerica Presents Singing Winds by Linda Strawn   Frederick, MD May 3, 2007 -- PublishAmerica is proud to present Singing Winds by Linda Strawn of Manton, California.    Strawn’s historic-Christian fiction is the story of Katy Breyer who lives with her father in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the late 1800s. Her young life is happy and secure until her estranged mother takes custody of her and moves her to a city hundreds of miles away. For the next five years, she endures the neglect of her mother and the indifference of her stepfather. Her only happiness is in the care and friendship she receives from the servants who work in her stepfather’s mansion. After a tragic accident claims the life of her mother and stepfather, Katy is reunited with her uncle who takes her to live with his family. She finally has the home and family she longs for but the unexpected friendship of a Maidu Indian boy will test her faith in God and force her to make a decision that will change her life forever.   Linda Strawn was born and raised in Northern California. She currently lives in a small town in Shasta County with her husband and daughter. Singing Winds, her first book, draws inspiration from the author’s interest in history, her love of Native American culture, and above all, her love for her Heavenly Father.   PublishAmerica is the home of 20,000 talented authors.  PublishAmerica is a traditional publishing company whose primary goal is to encourage and promote the works of new, previously undiscovered writers.  Like more mainstream publishers, PublishAmerica pays its authors advances and royalties, makes its books available in both the United States and Europe through all bookstores, and never charges any fees for its services.  PublishAmerica offers a distinctly personal, supportive alternative to vanity presses and less accessible publishers.
