Reflections from the Heart

Sandy (Nicholls) King was born in Yakima, Washington, the middle child of five. Shortly after her marriage, she received a BA from Central Washington College. Her husband, Ron, took a job in Anchorage, Alaska, in 1976. They planned to stay for one year, but the Last Frontier became their permanent home. The photograph on the front cover was taken at the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, where the family lived for twenty-five years. They now reside on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Sandy has taught a variety of subjects in private schools and given piano lessons for many years. She has played for churches most of her life, including accompanying a choir that was televised. She sang in and played piano for a group called "The Messengers" for twenty years. They gave concerts in many venues in Southeast Alaska, from tiny villages to the Governor's Mansion. Poetry has been one of Sandy's passions since childhood, but it wasn't until after retirement that she had time to cultivate her gift. Her poems have been well received - appearing online, in newsletters and other publications. She has received many requests for copies, hence came the decision to compile them into a book. This volume contains lessons learned from a lifetime of walking with God.
