The inspiration for Saint Agnes' Garden came from the book The Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux by Therese Martin. Saint Therese referred to herself as "a little white flower" because she had learned in a revelation from God that, in this world, we are all different kinds of flowers: We are not meant to be alike.

The inspiration for Saint Agnes' Garden came from the book The Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux by Therese Martin. Saint Therese referred to herself as "a little white flower" because she had learned in a revelation from God that, in this world, we are all different kinds of flowers: We are not meant to be alike. We are all loved equally by God whether, in His eyes, we are a rose or a wild violet. The main character, Jodie, is definitely a wild violet. She lives her life for the Lord and what she believes He is calling her to do. Originally from Biloxi, Mississippi, Jodie and her mother must make their own way after Jodie's father left them. They relocate to Terre Haute, Indiana, and must try to fit in to this strange northern city. This novel illustrates how hard it is for young women to navigate the early years of adolescence and how loving the Lord makes it a bit easier for them to know what they're truly meant for. The author hopes that, through this novel, people will understand that children are all valuable and precious in the sight of the Lord.

Autorenporträt
Many years ago, Diana Lynn Klueh expressed in her journal her desire to become a children's author. What would it take to get started? She awoke one morning to a strong idea in her mind and heart: "Weeds in the Garden." She was mystified. How could she write a children's book about weeds in a garden? While volunteering with child survivors of domestic abuse, it became clear that these broken kids were not throw-away "weeds." They were actually precious flowers that belonged in life's garden. She observed these children wilting from abuse and family trauma. However, most of them thrived and "bloomed" with care and loving affection. Diana now enjoys life with her husband, two grown children, and three lively grandsons.
