Raised
An inspirational story of two courageous, young parents in the midst of a tragic accident and the love, grace, and miracles that save three lives.
-
In a world that seems disturbing and increasingly out of control, Charlie and Florentina Mada share their miraculous story to boldly proclaim that God is compassionate and powerful enough to create holy miracles from human tragedies.
Charlie and Florentina Mada believe they have everything. They are wealthy, on vacation, and parents of an adorable sixteen-month-old son. Then suddenly, during a picnic at an idyllic spot along the Danube River, their son disappears. After finding him submerged in a pipe, their desperate efforts to save him are not enough. When the Madas finally arrive at a hospital, they are given time to grieve and remain by his bedside. Over the next seven hours the doctors examine their son four times each hour. No first aid or treatment is administered, and each exam finds no heartbeat, reflexes, or signs of life. Late that night, no one at the hospital is prepared for what they witness! What follows is a compelling story of miracles and divine interventions that bring these two non-believers half way around the world to the foot of the cross.
"Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?"
And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them."
Matthew 11:3-5

March 30, 2025, today, I finished a manuscript (79,000+ words) that I have wanted to write for decades! Join me in this journey as I seek the blessing of a relationship with a Literary Agency team and then a publisher. We can celebrate together.
It is a historical novel based on actual events. Three friends become American heroines when they successfully changed the world by confronting Puritan authorities and successfully plant deep roots for our First Amendment.
These women faced contemporary issues as they navigated dangerous paths. Their friendship nurtured faith and courage to reject Puritan shame and demand that no laws prevent anyone from seeking a personal relationship with God. These real women successfully over came injustice and exclusion by being bold and persistently sacrificial. They paid the price for one of our most precious liberties. There is a reason the etymology of Heroine is traced to the 1600s!
