Charlotte Maria Tucker (1821 – 1893) was a prolific writer and poet for children and adults, who preferred to write under the pseudonym A. L. O. E. (a Lady of England).

Will a Roman soldier forsake all and take up his cross and follow Jesus? Be prepared to be on the edge of your seat as slaves and generals find themselves on equal footing, hiking treacherous mountain paths in the midst of a catastrophic flood. Salvation may be found in a most unexpected way!
