Kirschstone Books is a small publisher dedicated to producing inspirational narrative non-fiction about people facing difficult, and even life-threatening circumstances, that propel them to make decisions with life-altering and potentially unexpected consequences. While firmly anchored in the geographic and historic settings that provide the general backdrop against which the stories unfold, the narratives also abound with emotional, psychological, spiritual and factual details of a profoundly personal nature. The challenging situations encountered in these true narratives provide sobering reminders of what life may have in store for people with an entirely different agenda in mind. Due to the protagonists' ability to maintain a strong faith and a positive vision as well as other reasons that remain unfathomable, they manage to transcend the difficulties they face despite overwhelming odds. At Kirschstone Books, hope, faith, creativity and optimism are primary themes in the books that we are inspired to publish.
