Karen Barnett, award-winning author of 10 novels and a former national park ranger, draws on her love of the outdoors in her stories. Her book, "Where Trees Touch the Sky," won the 2025 ACFW Carol Award for Historical Fiction. She lives with her family in Albany, Oregon.

In her new split-time novel, "Through Water and Stone," set in majestic Zion National Park, grieving ranger Henry Eriksson and his wife Alma find an abandoned baby in 1948 – offering hope after the tragic loss of their own son. Eighty years later, Talia Erickkson returns to Zion seeking a fresh start, only to uncover buried family secrets through a DNA test. With the help of Ranger Blake Mitchell, she learns that real family and true healing come from trusting the unchanging Rock.
