Janet Stoeppelmann's Ta’aroa’s Light is based on the TRUE STORY of UTA Flight 589 that occurred in 1985.
In the early morning darkness, a UTA French Airlines DC 10 pilot, in route from Los Angeles to Tahiti, was informed that an onboard bomb was timed to explode before the flight could land at its destination in Tahiti.
The story is told from the point of view of a ten-year-old girl named Jillian who is flying with her family. Since she has trouble sleeping on airplanes, she witnesses the event unfold. The heroic pilot remembers a runway built on the French Polynesian atoll of Rangiroa, the second largest coral atoll in the world, located 190 miles from Tahiti in the Tuamotu archipelago of French Polynesia. The runway is perfect except for a few minor details: there is no control tower, no electricity, and, therefore, no runway landing lights. Jody collaborated with author Janet Stoeppelmann and illustrator Nicole Bagley to design, format, edit, and publish Ta’aroa’s Light.

Author Monica Kimutis shares her passion for building community among young Catholic families. She writes, "My husband, Jared, and I experienced so much rapid change in our early twenties, that we could hardly escape survival mode. But, we desperately wanted to belong to a church family and we needed Christian friends. Those things take time. A family ministry can close that time gap and nurture its members, just like it has done for us."
