About A Mother’s Prayer by Ellie Lerum
Seasons of waiting can be long, especially when the hope carried close to the heart seems to be fading.
Anca Alastar knows her life is filled with blessings. HaMelech led her to her husband, Flick, brought her stepchildren into her care, and carried them safely out of a place of danger into a peaceful town among the apple orchards. For the first time in her marriage, Anca is able to rest. Moreover, she and her husband can finally complete their family in the way they have only prayed about.
Spanning over nine years, A Mother’s Prayer follows Anca through seasons of waiting, faith, and unanswered questions. As she faces infertility, fragile health, the loss of promised futures, and the echoes of their past, she must cling ever tighter to HaMelech… even when His answers come slowly.
Sometimes the deepest prayers are not shouted.
Just like a mother’s prayer, they are whispered, and offered even in the most fragile moments of hope.
A Mother’s Prayeris a raw look at life through the lens of infertility. Readers need to be advised that, while no graphic depiction of pregnancy loss is mentioned, the fall out and emotional effects of these moments are heavily described

Author Bio:
Ellie Lerum is a fantasy author and blogger whose stories blend redemptive hope, emotional depth, and a touch of whimsy. A devout Christian and mother of dragons (well, griffins… and two spirited little girls), she writes tales that wrestle with grief, healing, and courage through richly imagined worlds. Her Tales of Illeross series and soon-to-release Cassy Series draw inspiration from her faith, personal loss, and the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, crafting narratives that are both adventurous and deeply human.
In addition to her fiction, Ellie’s work appears in anthologies that explore spiritual tension and emotional healing. She also consults on narrative design for tabletop fantasy and horror games, lending her voice to immersive storytelling across formats. Whether writing or exploring Idaho with her family, Ellie finds the greatest joy in connecting with readers who see themselves in the stories she tells—and in glorifying the One who brings beauty from brokenness.
