Jeannie Zokan grew up in Colombia, South America, as the child of missionaries. She read almost every book in the American school she attended and her love of books lead her to a degree in Library Science and then to write books of her own, including The Existence of Pity, the story of an American teenager in Colombia in the 1970s who, while discovering who she is, also discovers family secrets. As it says in her Amazon bio, Jeannie writes “to relive, to understand, to remember, to renew.”
Hear Jeannie discuss feathers she receives as signs, as well as a special visitor who landed in her backyard as we were recording. Also hear the story of an “angel” who came to her family.
