When Grandpa Roger gets cancer and does not seem to be getting better even with Chloe’s prayers, many difficult questions arise from this little girl. Read the book to find out just how God answers Chloe’s Prayer.
Leasa Brouillard was born in Fairfield, Iowa. Two years later her family moved and Brouillard pent the rest of her childhood in the small town of Persia, Iowa. She attended and graduated from the Tri-Center school system in Neola, Iowa in 1991. Brouillard went on to Dana College in Blair, Nebraska where she received her degrees in Art and Education in 1996.
Brouillard’s interest in writing began while attending Tri-Center and continued on through out her life. When her father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2004, Brouillard began writing down all the questions her daughter, Chloe, was asking as they dealt with praying for “Grandpa Roger's owie to get better.” Brouillard’s father, Roger Stark, went terminal in April of 2005 and later passed away in July.
It was not until after attending a writing conference that she began to look at what she had written and got serious about publishing the book, Chloe’s Prayer.
Brouillard currently resides near Portsmouth, Iowa. She is a wife and mother of three children including Chloe, for whom the story is titled. Brouillard also has her own pottery studio and continues to work on her next book.
Brouillard’s book Chloe’s Prayer and its companion, Chloe’s Prayer A Family Discussion Workbook are an asset to any family needing to answer the "tough" questions.
A few weeks went by and then I asked, “Momma, is Grandpa Roger’s owie better yet
?”
“Not yet.” Momma replied.
“Momma, does God even know who I am
?”
I think I must have surprised Momma because she had a funny look on her face.
“Why, of course he knows who you are. Why did you ask that
?” Momma sounded concerned.
“Well, he has not answered our prayers yet, I thought maybe it was because he did not know who I am.” I stated.
