In the shadow of grief, a boy searches for truth-and finds a destiny far greater than he imagined.

Seven-year-old James is still reeling from the loss of his father, a man he never got to know. But in From the Valley to the Palace, the second installment of the Finding My Father series, James's journey of healing and discovery continues-this time through a powerful tale drawn from the life of Joseph in the Bible.

Guided by his angelic older sister, Daisy, James is swept into a vivid spiritual allegory where valleys represent pain, injustice, and betrayal. As he walks alongside the biblical Joseph through pit, prison, and ultimately the palace, James begins to wrestle with deep questions: Why do bad things happen? Can suffering ever lead to something beautiful? Is God really in control?

This heartfelt Christian fantasy blends adventure with biblical wisdom, allowing readers of all ages to confront loss, jealousy, and uncertainty through the lens of faith. Daisy's gentle storytelling and James's honest questions create a tender space for healing, trust, and ultimately hope.

From the Valley to the Palace-recognized by Amazon for its spiritual depth and imaginative storytelling-reminds us that even when life seems broken beyond repair, God is working behind the scenes to bring redemption, restoration, and purpose.

Whether read aloud as a family or cherished in quiet moments of reflection, this book is a timeless allegory for anyone seeking the truth behind life's trials-and the beauty that lies beyond them.
