Book's Bio: 
Though war rages across mainland Europe and London is strafed by German aircraft, the little village of Pipley in Hertfordshire bustles along much as it always has. Adrift since her best friend, George, joined the Royal Air Force, twenty-year-old Olive Bright fills her days by helping at her father's veterinary practice and tending to her beloved racing pigeons. Desperate to do her bit, Olive hopes that the National Pigeon Service will enlist Bright lofts' expertise, and use their highly trained birds to deliver critical, coded messages for His Majesty's forces. 
The strangers who arrive in Pipley are not from the NPS. Instead, Jameson Aldridge and his associate are tied to a covert British intelligence organization known as Baker street.  If Olive wants her pigeons to help the war effort, she must do so in complete secrecy. Tired of living vicariously through the characters of her beloved Agatga Christie Novels, Olive readily agrees. But amid her subterfuge,  the village of Pipley is dealing with another mystery. Local busybody Miss Husselbee is found dead outside Olive's pigeon lot. Is the murderer tied to Olive's new assignment, or to Miss Husselbee finally succeed in ferreting out a secret shameful enough to kill for? With the gruff, handsome Jameson is an unlikely ally, Olive intends to find out - but homing in on a murderer can be a deadly business…

Our Leap of Faith

"The 2011 Leap of Faith: Mount Kilimanjaro expedition paired 14 climbers who had either multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease with 14 companion climbers. As with other expeditions, the summit loomed large in the hopes and dreams of the climbers. In the end, 21 of the 28 Leap of Faith team members would indeed make it to the top. But for all the men and woman on this trip, the climb had a higher purpose: to carry the light of hope and a message of strength to the highest reaches of both our planet and the human spirit.
These are their stories-stories of fear and pain, of the courage to dig deep into that well of strength that lies within us all, and the willingness to try and try again, even in the face of insurmountable odds. Here are stories of shared joy and faith, stories of people who are more than climbers, on a climb of a peak that was more than a mountain, on an expedition that was more than a climbing journey.Here are the stories of a Leap of Faith." - EXCERPT BY JEFF RENNICKE, 2011 LEAP OF FAITH:MOUNT KILIMANJARO EXPEDITION PHOTOGRAPHER
"Without question, these stories will inspire you and leave you in awe of the power and beauty of the human spirit." - Phil Bolsta, author of Through God's Eyes: Finding Peace and Purpose in a Troubled World
"An exhilarating adventure on many levels worth reading."- Christopher Luzzio, MD, Neurologist
"I have read all the exciting books by Krauker and Viesturs regarding climbing; More than a Mountain can be proudly shelved next to them."- Dr. Jay L. Alberts, President and Founder, Pedaling for Parkinsons
