Author & Speaker
Hope, humor, faith and transformation infuse Caron’s writing and speaking. Based on her experiences as a wife, mom, traveler, teacher and spiritual journeyer, she touches audiences with genuine warmth and honesty.
AN UNCOMMON CRUSADE begins in a thirteenth century German village at the dawn of an ill-fated peasant crusade and ends a decade later on a sprawling estate in Egypt. With careful research, Caron tells a lively story of faith lost and forgiveness found, painting the medieval setting with vibrant strokes. In 2008, AN UNCOMMON CRUSADE (formerly Children of Light) placed among the top 100 semifinalists in Amazon.com’s debut international contest, the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.
