(openPR) - Frederick, MD March 23, 2007 -- PublishAmerica is proud to present Painted Children by Downers Grove, Illinois author Lydia Anne Klima. Set in Pompeii, Italy in 61 A.D., this historical fiction is the story of Lady Alexandra Marcius, a newly converted Christian, who leaves her hedonistic lifestyle to shelter street children. A woman of many regrets, her new faith is tested by a number of personal tragedies and a new emperor that will take drastic steps to stop the spread of the new form of Judaism.

Lydia Anne Klima holds an MBA, a BA in history, and a Bible School diploma. While Ms. Klima lived in Rome, she explored many ancient sites that influence her writing today. Ms. Klima is also the author of For Such a Time as This.
