More of My Writing

I haven't posted in a few days, because I've been really busy and haven't really had time to blog- until now. I thought I'd go ahead and share about some other books I've been writing.

- In Finding Faith Again, fifteen-year-old Faith Irwin is having a hard time living up to her name...faith. Ever since her father left and divorced her mom, she's had questions about faith and God that she can't seem to find the answers to. To make matters worse, she can't help but notice a girl at her school, Carmen, who is supposed to be so "religious," but yet she curses and gossips all the time- especially about Faith and her parents. It isn't that Faith doesn't want to accept faith; it's just that she doesn't feel she can trust God after all that's happened.

Fortunately, a girl named Emma Gordon begins praying for her, along with her friends, Kelly and Kim. She prays that she'll find faith again and that God will be able to use Emma to help Faith find her way back. What will happen to all of them?

- Twelve-and-a-half-year-old Sally Roberts has just moved with her family from McKinley, Wisconsin, the only home she's ever known, to Sunnydale, Missouri- from the city to the country. She's excited, because living in the country means she'll get to have horses, which she's wanted for years. She's also excited about living in a new place and finding new friends.

However, her thirteen-year-old aunt, Stephanie Adams, who's more like her sister since Stephanie lives with her and her parents, is having a hard time with the move. Her parents had died and were buried in Wisconsin, so Stephanie may never see their graves again, which she had previously visited quite often. Besides that, McKinley was the only home she'd ever known, which means she had to leave all her friends.

Stephanie isn't the only one feeling sad and lonely; Marie, Sally's twelve-year-old adopted sister, is missing Wisconsin because a very dear friend, Renee, had to stay behind. But Renee isn't just any friend; she was her only tie to her previous life in France before she'd been adopted. Moving means she won't get to speak French to Renee anymore. True, there's always talking on the phone and writing letters and emails, as well as Sally, who can speak basic conversational French, but she wants a friend to whom she can speak her native language in person. Will Stephanie and Marie overcome their loneliness? Find out in Sunshine Meadows. (Note: Sunshine Meadows is the name of the farm and B&B that the Robertses start shortly after they move.)

- Rebecca Smith is confused; in the same year that her mother dies, her father decides to visit his brother's cabin for a week and reconcile their relationship, the very thing that her mother has told him to do for years. The question is, why did such close brothers drive a wedge between them? And why reconcile now? Find the answers to these questions in Forgiveness on Cabin Lake.

And just remember: one of these may be...
