Story of Joy Harding-Author
A Life in Words
For most of my long life I've been a reader. Along with my faith, family, and friends, the written word has been and will always be one of my great joys.
As a Christian, a wordsmith and a lover of books, I am committed to bringing you, my readers, exciting journeys and uplifting love stories that will touch your hearts. Together with my husband of almost 40 years, I am a passionate believer in the centrality of God in our covenant relationship. My characters reflect this passion though good times and bad.
Reviews for Boundary Waters Search and Rescue: Beyond Belief
5.0 out of 5 stars Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
Not the kind of book I usually read. But it was given to me by a good friend and I read it in record time. I found the authors careful use of scripture and music to be inspiring.
Weaving a story of romance, spiritual journey, action and the natural beauty of northern Minnesota the author did a great job of creating a page turner. I can’t wait for the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book
This book is engaging, romantic, spiritual, mysterious and suspenseful all in one. It grabs your interest right away, with surprising plot twists and likeable characters. I found it was hard to put down. The faith aspects of the story are deep and true, so thoughtfully written. The crime mystery elements keep you hooked. I feel it would be a wonderful read for book groups. The north country setting in itself is wild and romantic, and nature becomes a huge part of the action. The love story that unfolds will touch your heart and leave you wanting more. But don't worry! Book 2 is coming soon! And ladies, it's not just for you. My hubby loved it too!

Action, mystery and romance set in northern Minnesota, the author creates a page turner that is hard to put down. And being a coming to faith journey, the book can be enjoyed by a wide audience who want to avoid excessive bad language. This book is only the first in the series and I can’t wait for the next one.

Boundary Waters Search and Rescue: Beyond Belief
Trauma surgeon and co-founder of the Boundary Waters Search and Rescue Unit, Jack Lockwood, was beyond frustrated...
A century blizzard, impassable roads, and gale force winds start Jack's Monday off the wrong way long before daybreak. To make matters worse, his friend and colleague---the police chief of Ely, Minnesota---orders him to stay home on a morning when the weather virtually guarantees injuries requiring Jack's skills. Little did he realize that he wouldn't need to go anywhere to save a life that morning. His next rescue would be in his own front yard, where he finds a half-frozen, gravely injured woman buried in a snowdrift. A woman who needs his help to stay alive long enough to tell her story---why she was out in this kind of weather---bound, battered, and bleeding.
