First, I want to credit the Lord with giving me the desire to just sit down and put my thoughts on paper.

Author Larry Trapp introduces the premier book in his entertaining Christian fictional series, The Harlin Saga Part One: Sara’s Legacy ($16.99, paperback, 9781662858000; $7.99, e-book, 9781662858017).

Part one of Trapp’s Harlin Saga series begins with a story that demonstrates the courage and endurance of a young Mid-Western woman named Sara Harlin. Readers will follow Sara’s journey from leaving her parents who disowned her, to arriving at the silver mining town of Virginia City, Nevada, and then onto the gold stampede of the Alaskan Territory. Danger and hardship are persistent on this trek, but Sara courageously faces the challenges and navigates unbelievable odds to secure her godly legacy. Readers will enjoy every page of this action-packed adventure as Sara enters a new era of America’s past. What will Sara do and how much will she risk to save the life of a newborn baby? How far will she go to fulfill the charge of Matthew 25:40? This book provides a lesson of overcoming challenges and learning a legacy of redemption and Christian heritage at the turn of a new and modern century.

When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Trapp said, “First, I want to credit the Lord with giving me the desire to just sit down and put my thoughts on paper. But there are two things that I am passionate about: fictional literature and historical veracity. In other words, I wanted to write a book, or series of books, that are challenging to Christians, fictional in structure and true to the facts.”

Larry Trapp was born in California and has spent his entire life, other than his service in the U. S. Army, residing less than 50 miles away from his birth city of Bakersfield.
