The Blurb: “Ex-con, Kurt Jansen wants a new start. He hopes to find a job in order to pay a lawyer to get his kids back. Hiring a convicted wife-killer isn’t what Molly Finnerty bargains for in her part of a prison ministry. She gradually believes he is innocent and finds a great deal to like about him—perhaps more to like than she should.”

The Blurb: “Brittany’s painting was chosen to be featured at the Colorado state capitol building over Christmas, and her best friend Cammie is not happy about it. In fact, Cammie becomes downright mean to Brittany. Brittany even finds herself as a victim of some of Cammie’s mean pranks. Not only did Brittany lose her best friend, but she has to decide whether or not to forgive Cammie when Cammie isn’t even sorry.“

A Tangled Gilded Age Love Story Unfolds.

The Blurb: “Widow Caroline Kane is the proprietor of a restaurant and inn—and responsible for her five teenaged siblings. But she has no plans of finding a mail-order groom. Britisher Barden Granville IV is on a “cowboy holiday” when he finds himself flat broke in Kansas.  When he answers an old “help wanted” ad, Caroline misconstrues Barden is there as a potential husband. Will the beautiful and fiesty widow cause the new vicar to make Kansas his home?”

The Blurb: “When the lively fervor of nineteenth century revivalism endangers the staid customs of the Amish in the lush Kishacoquillas Valley of Pennsylvania in 1847, the Amish church must deal with a divisive question: What is a genuine spiritual experience? The question turns person when Susanna’s cousin Noah begins preaching while under trances and crowds gather to watch. Susanna and her intended, Adam, must grapple wither whether love is possible if they come to different conclusions.“

The Blurb: “In 1835 Henrietta Hall Shuck travels 19,000 miles with her husband of two weeks to become a woman of firsts: the first American Woman missionary to China, the first woman to reside in Hong Kong, the first to educate Chinese girls, and all against the backdrop of the turmoil during The First Opium War. She endures illness, poverty, robbers, and oppressive climate to establish the first Baptist mission in the Chinese Empire with her husband and to discover God’s will for her life.”

Snippet of the Blurb: “A spunky kitten on a daring rescue, a neglected mare full of love, and boys that recur like warts make teenager Ruth Deloach’s life far from boring. For every kind person that comes to the ranch there seems to be two warts. The attitudes and temperatures of southeast Missouri starkly contrast the suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but Ruth doesn’t have time to adjust before her father holds an open house for their horse ranch, Meredith Meadows.”
