After losing his wife of 16 years, Dean Barkley Briggs created a tale his four sons could relate to in their own journey through loss -- thus was born The Legends of Karac Tor, a sweeping epic of four brothers enmeshed in the crisis of another world. In God's timing, Briggs remarried Jeanie, who'd lost her husband in an auto accident. Together with her four children, they spend each day grateful for their eight blessings.
