Last month, I had a new novel release: Sewn with Joy!

It’s a story about an Amish woman who was asked to sew for a new Amish TV show but before she knows it they’re asking her to get in front of the camera, too! This novel was fun to write, but it also is very heart-tugging. In addition to Joy’s story I get to dig into the heart and thoughts of an actress who’s sure that she’s made too many mistakes to be loved by God. The friendship these women build truly becomes a beautiful thing.

Here is the official summary:

Sometimes Dreams Come Together
One Piece at a Time

Joy Miller wanted nothing more than to be a wife and mother—especially now that her relationship with Matthew Slagel, the bishop’s son, was deepening. But when a television crew rolls into Pinecraft, Florida, to film a new show about the Amish, tension threatens to rip apart their relationship…and the entire Amish community.

Joy is initially hired to sew costumes for the show, but she soon finds herself becoming increasingly involved in the production—a fact that upsets Matthew and his father. Yet the more Joy befriends the Englischer production crew, the more she senses God working in their lives through her. Can she turn her back on this opportunity to share God’s love? Will she and Matthew somehow be able to stitch together their dreams for the future

Experience love, heartbreak, and hope in this sweet story of two worlds uniting in unexpected ways.

In the second installment of the Pinecraft Pie Shop series, you’ll return to a town and a family you’ve already grown to love. When Hope Miller is offered the plot of land behind the Me, Myself, and Pie shop to start a garden, she jumps at the chance. Finally—some space away from her four sisters! But everyone in town seems to have an opinion about what she should grow and how she should grow it. When the widower schoolteacher, Jonas Sutter, asks if his students at the Amish school can help turn the plot into a community garden, Hope only halfheartedly agrees, wondering if she will ever get the peace and quiet she craves. And will she get anything to grow? The stories of friendship, community, and unexpected love within these pages will plant real seeds of hope within your heart.

Shortcake For Fresh Strawberries

Happy day! The latest book in the Pinecraft Pie Shop series releases TODAY!! To celebrate I’m sharing a delicious recipe for strawberry shortcake from my co-author, Sherry Gore. Check out Sewn with Joy and the other books in the series for more Amish recipes.

Shortcake For Fresh Strawberries

1 cup butter
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups whole milk
whipped cream for topping

Preheat oven to 350*F.

In a large bowl, crumble the butter, flour and sugar together until crumbs are fine and even textured. Add baking powder and milk, mixing until well blended. Batter will be lumpy. Pour into greased 15×10-inch jelly roll pan or, for a thicker shortcake, use a greased 13×9-inch pan.

Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Spoon sugared strawberries over thick slices of shortcake and stack; the higher the better.

Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
