Sketches: A Novel

A romance novel about missionary life in South America Dani Austin may be young, but she's one incredibly talented artist. She bravely travels to Belem, Brazil to illustrate primers for indigenous people groups. Sketching objects, animals, and people is as natural as breathing for her. And, even though she hasn't had time to learn about the culture or national language, the year ahead promises to be exciting and full of adventure. Pilot Keith Kelcey, left in charge of the mission property while all his colleagues attend a conference in Brasilia, finds that watching over and bailing the naive newcomer out of her cultural blunders is more taxing than taking care of his younger brothers ever was. And more interesting. Will the handsome pilot ever regard her as more than just a bothersome kid? And, when a visit to an Indian village brings a threat on Dani's life, will Keith be able to rescue her?
