The IT Book TWO: A Time for Living, A Time for Dying

This is my second “IT Book.” Each book is a collection of stories. The first book, The IT Book: Short Stories of Encouragement for Children of All Ages, includes many stories about my childhood, and there are five delightful stories by my husband, Bill Mercer. The IT Book TWO: A Time for Living, A Time for Dying, is primarily about my adulthood. It includes several stories about the ten years that Bill and I lived, explored and hiked in the mountains of Colorado. I have written these books in the hope they will bring joy and encouragement to this world. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kathie Gedden, born in Des Moines, Iowa, graduated from Mundelein College in Music.
