What themes exist in The Other Daughter that you hope the reader sees? Are there any themes that weren't overt but developed as the story progressed?
The most important theme to me is the one of releasing control of your life to your Heavenly Father, and seeing that He cares more about your future than you ever can. Until a person bows their will to His and falls into His arms, there will be no true, lasting peace...and it's tough to find real forgiveness, or give it to others.
The character of Grandfather, a part Nez Perce relative of David's, didn't exist in the first rough draft, but came quite some time after. He was brought into the picture to help both David and Susanne examine their motives and reactions to one another and to Brianna on a deeper level. He's a picture of unconditional love that we all wish for in our lives and the type of person we could all use, when we're heading the wrong direction.

About Molly Noble Bull
www.MollyNobleBull.com
An only child, I was born of Scottish, Irish, English and French descent in Kingsville, Texas -- home of the famous King Ranch. Kingsville is near the Gulf coast in the cattle ranching country of South Texas. The Noble, of Molly Noble Bull, is my maiden name.
My husband, Charlie Bull, and I married when I was 21, and for a time we lived in Germany while he was in the army. We have three sons, Bret, Burt, and Bren, and all three are part-time cowboys.
Of course, I'm a born again Christian. I was raised in a liberal, mainline church, but after being saved at the age of 33, I joined a Southern Baptist Church. I think like an early American. This also includes my values which are conservative and pro-life.
Charlie and I lived in a rock home at the top of a hill in the beautiful Texas Hill Country west of San Antonio for about 20 years before moving to Kingsville.
Writing: As a child I loved to play with dolls and paper dolls, and "Let's Pretend" was favorite childhood game. Pretending meant creating long dialogues and complicated plots, and I never tired of doing it. I think novel writing is what let's pretenders do after they grow up. I was already a born again Christian before I started selling my work, and it is not surprising that I write for the Christian market only.
Interests: Besides writing, I enjoy genealogy, travel, conservative causes, and Bible prophecy.
Influences: My father and my maternal grandfather were
ranch managers -- in other words they were real, Texas cowboys! They rode,
roped, and branded horses and cattle. For a time during my growing up years I
lived on the Santa Rosa Ranch, a sixty thousand acre Texas cattle ranch. All
three of our sons are involved in ranching in Texas today.
"The Rogue's Daughter," my Zondervan historical,
is set on a Texas cattle ranch in 1890.

In Book Two, the family leave Scotland and travel to the state of South Carolina amidst more troubles and hardships every step of the way. Readers who liked The Winter Pearl, Molly's Steeple Hill trade paperback, will also enjoy Sanctuary--and learn a little history besides.

The
Winter Pearl
In 1888, Colorado was a dangerous place for a girl on the run. But Honor McCall had to take her chances to escape from her cruel, drunken uncle and start a new life. She never imagined that she'd be rescued by a handsome young minister, or find a place to call home in his church.
It was more than she deserved, more than she could ever repay. So how could she stay on -- accepting charity while living a lie, hiding the truth about the danger that stalked her, hiding the love in her heart for a man who might never return her feelings?
She had to leave, the sooner the better, but she just couldn't seem to go -- and then Christmas brought a special miracle...
