In 2008 her book Sleep in Peace was given the Rodda Book Award by the Church and Synagogue Library Association for “promotion of spiritual growth” in readers.

After submitting final copy for her essays in this issue of the web journal, she left for Kenya to paint a mural on the walls of a children’s hospital.
