Carol's Writing and Books

Carol is an author with the ability to encourage, motivate, and inspire through the written word.

She is an avid reader who embraced writing as a young girl. She enjoys penning (actually, keyboarding) fiction and non fiction, and reads both genres, as well. Jesus used parables or stories to illustrate life-changing principles, and Carol believes that we, too, should feel free to use fiction writing as a catalyst for change.

Carol Van Atta
“Mom … please tell me what you bought me for my birthday. Please …!” My daughter pleaded while giving me the saddest puppy-dog-eyes I’d ever seen.
I had a choice. I could allow her to unwrap the gift early, spoiling the joy and excitement of waiting for her actual birthday, or, I could help her understand the value of patience, trusting the future blessing would be well worth the wait. click to continue reading

Tears to Triumph
Carol Van Atta
I couldn’t pull myself away. The inscription, engraved on a gold plate, just below the image of two infants sleeping peacefully in an old-fashioned cradle, confirmed what I already knew — this was the memorial to honor my unborn children — the ones not with me because of abortion. click to continue reading
