The Second Great Awakening has stirred her soul . . . .

          Rachael Rothburn is eager to leave her life of luxury in Buffalo, New York to share the gospel with Native Americans in the west. The only problem is, the missionary alliance won’t let her go unless she’s married. When Dr. Jonathan Wheaton, another missionary hopeful learns about the restriction, he is desperate to find a wife. He offers Rachael a marriage of convenience and she agrees. The pair sets off for Oregon to share Jesus with the natives, bur in the process they discover God doesn’t create coincidences—he designs possibilities.

Margaret Grundstein was raised in Detroit, headed east for education and tuned left to follow the great radical migration west of the 1970's. Her career has been eclectic, starting out in City Planning, shifting to photography, ultimately creating a niche that fit her life as a single parent; the owner/director of a preschool in Venice, California. Margaret also has a private practice as a psychotherapist in Los Angeles. Margaret is a proud mother and grandmother. Naked in the Woods is her first book.
