Ariana: A Gift Most Precious
Second novel in the Ariana series
Broken promises, broken dreams, broken hearts . . . Ariana Perrault has seen
them all in her short lifetime, but now they seem only distant memories.
Having climbed the long pathway from sinner to Latter-day Saint, she has
felt the arms of a loving Heavenly Father around her, guiding her to a wonderful
life with Jean-Marc and their three beautiful children. Her best friend,
Paulette, has also repented, embraced the gospel, and started an eternal
family of her own. But who could know that one of life's deepest, darkest
tragedies is just around the corner?
In this powerful sequel to
Ariana: The Making of a
Queen, these two women and their families come face to face with
the life-and-death consequences of past choices. Will their testimonies give
them strength enough to withstand the darkest hours of their lives? The answer,
born of both adversity and joy, is A Gift Most Precious.
What Others Are Saying

Author's Comments
When I wrote the first Ariana, I had never expected to write another, but
my editor called and suggested that after reading the first book, people
would want to know more. Then she suggested the main topic and I thought
to myself, "No way I'm going to do that." The next morning I started.
I had to do a lot of research and soul-searching to write A Gift Most
Precious. I learned more than I passed on, believe me. It's a deep novel
that explores friendship and love in the face of devastating circumstances.
I feel very tender toward the characters and the growth they show. One thing
people like best about the book is the interaction between Ariana, her husband,
and her children. Women constantly tell me their husbands act just like Ariana's!
You can be sure that you won't find my hero flat and perfect, but flawed
and growing.
