Meaker tapped into the imaginations of her three grandchildren, asking them for input when\u00a0developing the characters and setting for the story. The book is a tale of a young girl named Nola who\u00a0is sent on a mission find beads of the jewelfern. Lady Marika, the village healer, needs them to create\u00a0a potion to heal her brothers and other children stricken by the strange illness that has swept their\u00a0village.

Two historical mysteries followed,\u00a0My Dear Emma and Four Branches which are both partially set during the Civil War era. A Line of\u00a0Shorts, a book of short stories, completes the list of books she\u2019s written, but she\u2019s also published a\u00a0series of historic newspaper articles and her work has appeared in several anthologies.<\/div>\n
