Garden of Secrets: Adah's Story is book three in the Mysteries & Wonders of the Bible fiction series. Heartache and trouble follow Adah wherever she goes, from a family who doesn't want her to broken betrothals that end in death. All Adah wants is a safe haven. Peace.
Then she finds a secret map among her family's few possessions, and she knows exactly where she must go. She sets out to find the most wondrous place on earth—the legendary Garden of Eden.

Author Bio
Every night when Texie Susan Gregory was a little girl, her mother, with an expressive voice and face, brought life to a Bible story. The stories became so familiar that sometimes the people seemed like distant relatives—Grandfather Abraham, Uncle Paul, Cousin Esther. After discovering Elizabeth Speare's book The Bronze Bow, she realized people other than those she “knew” had lived and loved and laughed during Bible times. Astonishing! Thus began her quest to write the stories of both the unknown and the well-known people of biblical times. Studying why people act and respond the way they do fascinates her. She has a master's degree in school counseling as well as in religious education. North Carolina-born-and-bred Texie Susan is an empty nester along with her husband, loving life in Michigan, next door to their two amazing grandchildren and said grandchildren's wonderful parents.
