Contemporary Women's
Fiction
Home is where the heart is .
. . or is it?
Three years after Kate
Sterling’s heart was
shattered by the unexpected
death of her husband, home
is about loyalty and
practicality. So she packs
up what is left of her life
in Nashville, Tennessee, and
moves back to Harvest Bay in
north central Ohio with her
young daughter. Expecting
her hometown to be the same
sleepy little community she
grew up in, she discovers
that some things have
changed.
First, Adam Sullivan, the
once goof-off jock she
avoided in high school,
breaks down her initial
defenses and becomes Kate’s
confidante. Having
experienced hardships of his
own, he understands her in a
way no one else can. He is
gentle, insightful,
compassionate . . . and
miraculously makes her
broken heart perform
acrobatics. But in order for
their relationship to grow
closer, Kate not only has to
get past the pain of losing
her husband, but she also
has to deal with the fact
that Adam is not a
Christian. With her own
faith on shaky ground, does
she have the passion and
fire to lead someone else to
Christ?
Then Kate learns the town’s
doctor is expanding his
office and her
brother-in-law, Nathan
Sterling, is leaving his
successful Vanderbilt
practice to accept the open
physician position, and she
finds her head spinning. At
first it’s almost like
having a piece of her
husband back . . . until
Nathan confesses his love
for her, leaving her
emotions torn.
It isn’t until Kate suffers
another devastating loss
that she finally understands
that the God who loves and
cares for her has given her
a second chance at love. Now
she must make a decision: Is
God leading her to a love
linked to the past . . . or
to one who will walk with
her into the future? Which
road will Kate take on
The Heart’s Journey Home.

Susie passed out while

wrenching than she imagined,
but she’s determined to do
the right thing for her

he loves. Can he convince
her that his love is genuine
before it’s too late? Can
she make him understand that
it’s not about him—it’s
about what’s best for her
child?

My Son, John
By
Kathi Macias
Murder.
Could there be a more
chilling word? Could it be
any more horrible than to
have a loved one killed,
brutally and heartlessly,
without obvious reason or
motive? When Liz Peterson’s
elderly mother is found
viciously beaten to death in
her home, Liz and her
husband, Charles, along with
their grown son, John, and
teenage daughter, Sarah, are
horrified beyond words.
Their previously
predictable, respectable
lives seem to have vanished
without a trace, as they
struggle to make sense of a
senseless act.
And then a second blow—more
devastating, if possible,
than the first—rocks them to
their core. John is arrested
for his grandmother’s
murder.
As what’s left of the
Peterson family begins to
crumble under the weight of
loss and accusation, the
Petersons’ longstanding
Christian faith is put to
the test in a way they could
never have imagined, and
unconditional love is
stretched to its limits.
Will family ties and
relationships withstand such
a crushing blow, or will
evil succeed in dividing and
conquering this once close
and inseparable family?

For these uncertain times .
. . an inspiring story of
grace, hope, and healing for
all seasons. |
|
"Since savoring the last
page of One Holy Night, I
have found myself revisiting
the characters regularly as
if they were members of my
own family. Amazingly,
Hochstetler tackles several
big issues—love, loyalty,
war and death—while
maintaining a positive
thesis. Family can survive.
Human love is grander in
weakness than in strength.
And faith is, by necessity,
stronger in tragedy than in
triumph.
One Holy Night is a
soon-to-be-classic “miracle
story” with an inspirational
message that will warm your
heart with love. It is a
wonderful statement of faith
and a gift of hope."
—Kathy Harris, author and
agent
for Joe Bonsall of the Oak
Ridge Boys

Holy Night

ACFW Book of the Year
Finalist
by J. M.
Hochstetler
Now
Only $10.99
Winner
of the 2009 Christian Small
Publishers Association Book
of the Year!
In
1967 the military build-up
in Viet Nam is undergoing a
dramatic surge. The
resulting explosion of
anti-war sentiment slices
through generations and
shatters families. In the
quiet bedroom community of
Shepherdsville, Minnesota,
the war comes home to Frank
and Maggie McRae, whose only
son, Mike, is a grunt in
Viet Nam.
Frank despises all Asians
because of the horrors he
witnessed as a young soldier
fighting the Japanese in the
South Pacific during WWII,
and especially because of
his brother’s brutal death
in a Japanese prisoner of
war camp. So when Mike
marries Thi Nhuong, a young
Vietnamese woman, Frank
ignores the pleas of his
wife, Maggie, and daughter,
Julie, and disowns his
soldier son. At the same
time Frank desperately
bargains with a God he
hardly knows for Maggie’s
healing from cancer.
With his world ripped apart,
Frank is forced to confront
the ugliness of his hatred
in an unforgettable moment
of truth. What happens next
is nothing less than a
miracle . . .
A deeply moving story of
forgiveness and
reconciliation, One Holy
Night is destined to
become a classic for all
seasons. It deals
compassionately with the
gritty issues of life—war
and violence, devastating
illness, intergenerational
and interracial conflict,
addictions, and broken
relationships in a way that
will warm readers’ hearts
with hope and joy long after
they finish reading.
