Citizens are invited to visit the museum. From the PUP Museum Ladies boots by Mary Murray LeBeau Every since the days of Cinderella the female half of society has been attracted to shoes. They were interested in thick sturdy soles that would walk a thousand miles or more before being worn out and high tops to discourage discour-age snake bites. Many women wom-en wore hand made boots that could be worn on either foot. If they were alternated each day it extended the life of the boot because it equalized equal-ized the wear. When the boots in the photograph were given to the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum, they were not numbered and I do not know which of our grandmothers wore this pair. From the best information I can find these were later boots, made about 1880. They are larger than some of the early boots and even at the age they must be, the leather is finely tanned and soft. They are also beautifully beau-tifully polished. It seemed that these special spe-cial boots did not go into the garden nor did they go out to clean the chicken coop. It is doubtful that they ever cleaned the house or washed the windows. If they ever got wet they were carefully1 dried "The Peacegiver" What if a vision was opened up to us that detailed Christ's Atonement in a personal parable? Modern, understandable parables for every day lives? It would have the power to change your life. A modern-day parable is found in "The Peacegiver" (Deseret Book, hardcover, $17.95, 203 pgs) by James L. Ferrell, managing director of the internationally renowned re-nowned Arbinger Institute. Through a fictional husband-wife husband-wife story, "The Peacegiver" offers the real peace that is found when we come unto Christ and begin to discover the personal nature and applicability of Christ's Atonement in our lives, and in our relationships. Rick Carson is struggling in his 10-year marriage. It's not that he or his wife, Carol, Car-ol, have committed any grievous sin; rather the two have grown apart and now have no patience for one another. Four children later and a marriage that is unbearable, un-bearable, Rick considers divorce as a viable option. Divorce was heavy on his mind one night as Rick drifted drift-ed into an unsettled slumber, which is also when his grandfather, gran-dfather, Grandpa Carson, took hold of his dreams. Grandpa Carson opened a series of visions to Rick-largely Rick-largely biblical stories that had previously held little relevancy to Rickand helped him understand how Christ's Atonement could heal his marriage.

It is likely that whoever bought such boots saved thejr coins, penny by penny, in a sugar bowl or even a cracked cup in the back of the top shelf of the cupboard. She may have seen them in the store and then started to save. This style was popular until after the turn of the century. They belonged to one of our very practical pioneer families, they may have been used by more than one family fami-ly member. I am sure they were in church many times. They surely went dancing because that was an important impor-tant part of the social life of the community. They would have been at home if the owner had taken a ride on her side saddle where it was allowed for her dainty ankles to show as the horse moved down the road. Because we have no name to link these boots to the past and therefore to a specific person living today we can all imagine that our beautiful grandmother may have been in church wearing these boots. In fact she probably had a pair very much like them. was being taught as the scriptures became personally applicable. However, even as Rick grasped a greater understanding, understand-ing, applying the principles proved to be something beyond his reach. He resented resent-ed offering the olive branch to Carol. And for that, Rick was given another chance to understand as Grandpa Carson Car-son once again visited and shared scriptures, experiences experienc-es and insights into Christ's Atonement, until Rick's heart had completely healed. Grandpa Gran-dpa Carson guided him through the deeper meaning and profound lessons contained con-tained int he stories of Jonah and those on the way to Tarshish, of David being intercepted by Abigail, and of Grandpa Carson's own life with Grandma Carson. Only then did Rick understand that even though the task at hand was extremely difficult, the Lord is with each of us step-by-step and He expects us to have faith to stay committed to our relationships. Each of us can find ourselves our-selves in Rick and Carol. Although we may have experienced expe-rienced the cleansing power of the Atonement, often our hardened hearts resist change. Christ forgives us but we will not forgive oth-1 ers.

LDStorymakers, Inc. is comprised of a group of successful LDS authors with books already in print. What began over a year ago as an email support group for LDS authors from all over the United States, has evolved from a comradeship of minds bursting with writers' dreams, into a fledgling company of enthusiastic idealists intent on confronting their own future-keyboard first. The idea to form this unusual alliance originated with BJ Rowley, a well-known well-known LDS youth author and public speaker who has a rich background in business and publishing, including having self-published five books of his own.

Adams, "They Kingdom Come" series, "Prodigal Journey;" Shirley Bahlmann, The "Odd" series and the "Gold" series; Anne Brad-shaw, Brad-shaw, "Terracotta Summer" and "Chamomile Winter;" Thorn Duncan, "Moroni Smith in the Land of Zarahe-mla;" Zarahe-mla;" Josi S.

Peck, "Truth Seeker" series, "A Challenge for Birttany;" BJ Rowley, the "Light Traveler Adventure" series, "Sting!;" Gordon Ryan, "State of Rebellion," "A Question of Consequence;" Marsha Ward, "The Man from Shenandoah," Shen-andoah," "Ride to Raton;" Linda Shelley Whiting, "David "Da-vid W. Patten, Apostle and Martyr;" and Julie Wright, "To Catch a Falling Star," "Loved Like That." All of these writers have proven themselves capable of creating and selling first-rate books.

Rowley, whose fourth book in his "Light Traveler Adventure" series is slated as release number four by LDStorymakers, LDS-torymakers, Inc., feels optimistic opti-mistic yet relaxed about reactions and about future growth. "I don't consider us as a competitor on the same level. We aren't in it for the money. We're in it for our own exposure as writers-however writers-however much that may be. I don't think we need shoot for the moon. If all of .us are happily publishing with other houses-LDS or otherwise-then otherwise-then at time we can sit idle as a company. It really doesn't does-n't matter. We aren't profit-minded, profit-minded, therefore publishing goals are irrelevant." What will LDStorymakers, LDStorymak-ers, Inc. launch as their first publication? Who have they chosen to write their first book? The answer is amazing-all amazing-all of them at once!
