Fragments Of Light
$16.99From D-Day to present-day, two lives are irrevocably changed by the decision to chase brave or to run away from it.
Cancer stole everything from Ceelie-her peace of mind, her self-image, even her twenty-year marriage to her college sweetheart, Nate. Were it not for the support and cheerleading of her quirky elderly friend, Darlene, she might not have been able to endure so much loss.
When Darlene’s prognosis turns dire, Ceelie can’t refuse her friend’s seemingly impossible request: find a WWII paratrooper named Cal McCallum, the father who disappeared when Darlene was just a toddler and left a lifetime of desolation in his wake.
The search that begins in the farmlands of Missouri eventually leads Ceelie to a small town in Normandy where, with Nate’s unexpected help, she uncovers the harrowing story of a hero who dropped into occupied France in the early hours of D-Day.
As Ceelie and Nate shed new light on Cal’s past, they find in his brokenness their way back to brave.

Space Between Words
$15.99“There were seconds-just seconds-as my eyes opened in the morning when the world felt unshrouded again. Then memory returned.”
When Jessica regains consciousness in a French hospital on the day after the Paris attacks, all she wants is to flee the terror she’s experienced. But Patrick, her steadfast, courageous friend, will not let her surrender to the fear. Worn down by his dogged and perplexing insistence, she reluctantly agrees to follow through with the antiquing road trip they’d planned before the massacre.
During a stop in the tiny village of Balazuc, Jessica finds an intriguing piece of history concealed in an antique sewing box. As the owners of a B&B, Grant and Mona, help her to translate the archaic French of a handwritten journal, they uncover the story of Adeline Baillard, a young woman who lived centuries before, during the Huguenot persecution that shook the Kingdom of France.
Armed with vague clues into the family’s fate, they follow Adeline’s descendants from France to England, where pieces of a tragic past converge with the harrowing present to illuminate a hope that cannot be destroyed.

Of Stillness And Storm
$17.99Torn between her husband’s calling and her son’s well-being, Lauren must find the stillness in the midst of life’s greatest storm. It was supposed to be an exhilarating life-reaching primitive tribes in remote regions of Nepal. But after two years in Kathmandu, the calling that upended the Coventry family’s world has galvanized Sam, while miring Lauren in isolation and disillusion. Their thirteen-year old son, Ryan, seems to be the ministry’s greatest casualty, his vivacious personality eroded by losses and change. While Sam treks into the Himalayas for weeks at a time, Lauren and Ryan stay behind, experiencing a much less inspiring reality. The family’s strong foundation begins to crack. Into the void enters Aidan, an extraordinary painter and friend Lauren hasn’t heard from since a harrowing altercation twenty-two years before. Though their communication is only through on-line conversations, Lauren can’t help the old emotions that are brought up with each relived memory, connecting her to the person she used to be. It is Ryan who finally brings the family to a point of crisis that forces Sam and Lauren to face the truths destroying them. Intimate and bold, Of Stillness and Storm weaves relational and spiritual dilemmas into a tale of resurrected love and honorable intentions gone awry.
