What was your favorite book as a child?
The first book I remember loving (and asking to have it read so frequently I can still quote portions of it by memory) was “A Cat Called Cindy,” a Tiny Tots books. I even named my cat Cindy in honor of the storybook kitty!
What book did you read that first made you want to be an author?
Christy by Catherine Marshall. The way the author transported me into another time and place and made me feel and see and hear what the character was experiencing challenged me to create a world as rich and full of meaning as the one Mrs. Marshall had penned.
What was the last book you read, just for fun?
I just finished The Domino Effect by Davis Bunn. A bit outside of my usual women’s fiction norm, but I really enjoyed it—very thought-provoking in how one person truly can make a difference when he chooses to do right.
What books are currently on your nightstand?
At the moment, All For a Sister by Allison Pittman is front and center since it’s this month’s Lit & Latte (book club) choice.
What upcoming release are you most looking forward to?
I’ve preordered As the Tide Comes In, by Cindy Woodsmall and Erin Woodsmall. I’m eager to see this story that brewed in two hearts instead of just one.
More about Ours for a Season
An Old Order Mennonite couple’s vows and beliefs are challenged in this stirring contemporary novel for fans of Cindy Woodsmall or Shelley Shepherd Gray.
Anthony and Marty Hirschler are part of an Old Order Mennonite community in Pine Hill, Indiana. The couple has grown apart since a doctor confirmed they would never have children. Marty longs to escape the tight-knit area where large families are valued, and the opportunity to do so arises when her childhood friend, Brooke Spalding, resurfaces with the wild idea of rebuilding a ghost town into a resort community. Brooke hires Anthony to help with the construction, drawing the Hirschlers away from Indiana and into her plan, and then finds herself diagnosed with cancer. Moral complications with Brooke’s vision for a casino as part of the resort and the discovery of a runaway teenager hiding on the property open up a world neither the Hirschlers nor Brooke had considered before. Will they be able to overcome their challenges and differences to help the ones among them hurting the most?
