THE OTHER WAY HOME SERIES
The Other Way Home Series book covers have a fresh new look!
Harvest House Publishers re-released our all-time favorite Valley Oaks, Illinois, stories – now with “photos” of our all-time favorite folks on the covers. J
The stories have not been changed, but the covers are great fun with beautiful colors and hints of what’s inside. There’s Brady in his farmer’s cap with his truck. . .a really cute Tanner with his plane. . .Britte’s high school and Lia’s pharmacy resemble classic small-town America (in particular Orion, Illinois!). . .the “sigh” wedding kiss and “what’s ahead?” winding country road are still there. . .Gina, Isabel, Britte, and Kate wear smiles that perfectly reflect their characters and seem to say, “Come visit my life for awhile.”
Check out A JOURNEY BY CHANCE, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, JUST TO SEE YOU SMILE, and THE WINDING ROAD HOME either at this website, at www.harvesthousepublishers.com, or online bookstores.

THE BEACH HOUSE SERIES
BEACH DREAMS by Trish Perry
Julian and Zeke, our all-time favorite beach guys, and Faith Fontaine’s funky little beach house all return in Harvest House author TRISH PERRY’s BEACH DREAMS!
I highly recommend this moving story. There’s romance, interesting people of all ages and walks of life, old hurts addressed, God’s awesome healing touch, laughter, tears, and epiphanies alongside the Pacific Ocean. For Trish fans, there’s the bonus of watching her previous characters grow in their faith.

SAFE HARBORS SERIES #2
A TIME TO GATHER
By Sally John and Gary Smalley
Yes, it is on the way! Watch for the release date of A Time to Gather at www.thomasnelson.com and online bookstores.
The Beaumont family saga continues. Claire and Max move into the Hacienda Hideaway and anticipate a renewal of their marriage vows in a “re-wedding.” Meanwhile their grown children are still reacting to the major upheaval begun in A Time to Mend. Two of the siblings – TV news anchor Erik and artist Lexi – take center stage. Pushed to the brink of personal disaster, they struggle to break free from the past. Complicating and ultimately complementing their journeys are grandparents Indio and Ben, along with two new intriguing women.
Max and Claire find this season of life is indeed a time to gather what has been sown, the good and the not-so-good.
A Time to Gather is another exciting story full of relationship: the stumbling blocks, the joys, the mysteries, and – as always – God’s faithful, healing touch.

A Time To Mend was named to the Christian fiction best sellers list for May! It was also announced as a Christy Award finalist. Quite a month!
