title: David's Decision (The King Family of Lancaster County) (Volume 3)
author:  June Bryan Belfie 
description: My deepest roots are here in Pennsylvania, though I was born in New York State and lived in New Jersey and Connecticut for the first twenty years of my life. The beauty of Pennsylvania and the variation in the seasons and topography have gotten into my soul, and I hope to spend the rest of my life here. Married over forty years to a very special man who loves me just the way I am, Im also the mother of five adult children and grandmother to eight amazing kids. Weve been blessed with the birth of our first great-great grandchild. Wow! That makes me ancient. (Why do I still feel like Im thirty?) I believe in Jesus Christ and I pray for direction in my writing. Not all has been roses in my life. I had a divorce many years ago and know the pain of rejection. I've had illnesses, watched my children suffer, lost my parents, and known failure. Perhaps, for all these reasons, I feel a need to share through my writings. Perhaps a thought, a chapter, even a sentence might help a fellow human in some small way.
