Becky Van Vleet, retired teacher and principal and award-winning multi-genre author joined the show to share about her newly published book: Unintended Hero.

Becky has been published in Guideposts, The Country Register, and Christian Devotions Ministry, and is a frequent guest blogger for other authors. Her children’s picture books are the recipients of the Excellence in Editing Award as well as the Purple Dragonfly Award. She and her husband make their home close to Colorado Springs where she enjoys gardening, hiking, oil painting, power walking, playing the violin, and spending time with her family, especially reading books to her grandchildren.

When she’s not busy playing with her grandchildren and writing books, she volunteers her time at her church, having taught all grades in Sunday School classes for many years, and has been a leader in Bible Study Fellowship. She loves the Lord with all her heart and believes if we have a pulse, we have a purpose.

Her book, "Unintended Hero", is a true story about her father’s battles, experiences, and adventures in WWII aboard the USS Denver. She is passionate about sharing the values of the Greatest Generation and enjoys speaking to high school classes about patriotism.
