Can't Get Enough of Sister Friends?


Once upon a time in the little town on the Oregon coast, there were four Lindas—all in the same first-grade classroom. So they decided to go by their middle names. And form a club. And be friends forever. But that was 47 years and four lives ago. Now a class reunion has brought them all—the New York lawyer, the empty nester, the frustrated artist, and the aging starlet—together again in their old hometown, at a crossroads in their lives. They’re about to explore the invigorating reality that even the most eventful life has second acts…and there’s no statute of limitations on friendship.

As Young As We Feel: A Novel (The Four Lindas)will be available in February/March from David C. Cook.




There's a proverb that says "women hold up half the sky"---and for four ladies sharing a farm in Solace, Georgia, that burden feels awfully heavy! Mamie harbors an overwhelming secret, Margaret has lost her home, Billie worries about her disabled daughter, and Emerita lives with a heartbreaking past. Can their friendship bring healing---and hope?

Hold Up the Sky will be available in March from NAL.



Sixteen Civil War widows living in St. Louis respond to a series of meetings conducted by a land speculator who lures them west by promising "prime homesteads" in a "booming community." Unbeknownst to them, the speculator's true motive is to find an excuse to bring women to the fledging community of Plum Grove, Nebraska, in hopes they will accept marriage proposals shortly after their arrival! Sparks fly when these unsuspecting widows meet the men who are waiting for them. These women are going to need all the courage and faith they can muster to survive these unwanted circumstances--especially when they begin to discover that none of them is exactly who she appears to be.

Sixteen Brides will be available in April from Bethany House.

Would you quit making me want all these books?! That first one even has my name on it! Sigh.

I can't read 'em fast enough!

When I read the book about the "Lindas", I'll think of you.
