Having spent the majority of her career as a business development specialist, Christine Buckley's life took a dramatic turn in 2007, when she learned that her mother was dying of cancer. The ensuing months brought many trials that caused Christine to question every component of her existence. However, from these trials sprang a triumph of faith that resulted in Christine's first book, 21 Days of Harvest. In this candid depiction of her mother's final three weeks of life, Christine found not only a catharsis for her pain, but a platform from which to proclaim the miraculous power of God to reap victory from tragedy. Christine has since traded the corporate world for the art world and now operates Hill Country Bazaar, an online gift shop featuring unique crafts from the Texas Hill Country. She has also embarked on her second book, which is scheduled for publication in early 2009.
