UNLABELED

Prologue
It happened in Africa
Rahela Morgan tiptoed along the tiled hallway, holding her breath. A hyena howled in the distance. Her dog, Titan, barked in reply. But in the house, no one stirred, not even her old nurse, Deborah, who had ears like a hawk and a nose for sniffing out trouble.
“So far, so good,” thought Rahela, as she slipped into the bathroom and closed the door softly behind her. She fumbled in the pocket of her pajamas for the precious packet she had bought that day at the pharmacy in Mombasa, fifty miles away. Morning sickness for several weeks had made her determined to know the worst.

Lillian Harvey’s first and only novel.

The King’s Diamond is a “must” for all young people. Read how a Christian girl, facing many subtle pressures and fierce temptations, meets the tests put to her by a rich and skeptical young diamond merchant from South Africa. Exulting in his great “find”, this worldly young man discovers, to his chagrin, that Someone has outbid him! Read, and be encouraged that it is possible, even today, to prove that Christ can take our worthless ore and produce from it a gem of priceless value.

The Velvet Curtain by Trudy Harvey Tait

Are the characters in your novel, “The Velvet Curtain” people you have actually known? This is a question I get asked fairly frequently and I suppose,like many writers, I would have to answer “Yes” and “No.” The two sisters, Esther and Gabby were originally based on two Romanian girls I had come to know pretty well, but as “The Velvet Curtain” progressed, Esther became less and less like the original girl I had in mind. Gabby, on the other hand, stayed pretty true to form although she did a great many things that the real “Gabby” (that was not her name, of course) never did. But in character, the fictional and the real greatly resembled one another.

Love Me and Let Me Go

Love Me and Let Me Go
Why do we often smother those we love? Why do we cling onto them far past the time when they deserve to be their own independent selves? What are we afraid of? And why cannot we allow them to follow God in a path which perhaps we may not tread with them? We have taught them about God; we have tried to set them an example, albeit in our own flawed way. Then why can’t we trust them into the hands of the Almighty?

The Velvet Curtain

The Velvet Curtain Series

The phrase “The Velvet Curtain” was in the mind and heart of Trudy Harvey Tait long before she took up her pen to write “The Velvet Curtain Series.” Growing up in the cold war,she had often heard the phrase “The Iron Curtain” and was glad that she, for one, was privileged to live in the
West where such a curtain did not exist. Little by little, however, she came to discover that there was a Western counterpart which made itself felt from time to time.

Well, I can’t and won’t begin my novels in this way. So, no, I’m not making millions as a writer and I’m sure, never will.

Christian Romance Novels

For many years, I helped edit my parents’ devotional books—books on prayer, books to help us to know God better, books on how to pray, Christian parenting books, books about God and suffering, books on the lives of saints etc. etc.  My father died in 1983 and my services were needed more than ever as he had been our editor-in-chief as well as co-author with his wife, Lillian.
