My passion is writing! What could be more delicious than inventing new characters and seeing where they take you?

I am blessed to live in Indiana, a state I share with many Amish communities. (I find the best spices, hot cereal, and good cooking advice at an Amish store not too far away.)

I've lived in Honduras, Grand Cayman, and Costa Rica. One of my favorite activities is exploring other cultures. My husband, Paul, and I have two grown children and five precious grandchildren. I love to hole up in our lake cabin and write -- often with a batch of popcorn nearby. (Oh, and did I mention dark chocolate?) And I can often be found walking the beaches of Costa Rica.

Another Great Book

Another wonderful book by a wonderful author! I absolutely love all of her books. I haven’t read one of her books yet that I haven’t liked.

Great story.....

I'm a bit mixed up! I think I read the last story first, now I know how the series ends, oh well. The author did a great job on this story of a young woman's love of a baby and it's dad.

[Kathleen Fitting]

An Amish romance.

This book was very well written with a lot of suspense. It told about John's position as a teacher and the missing of Emily Sue.

Desperate Act

Excellent story: this continues the relationship of Josie and schoolteacher John Beiler. John has been acting very secretive and distant.
I enjoyed the suspenseful climax as well as the outcome.

Josie and Johns story is truly amazing. The way Josie is there to take care of Emmy and Johns needs is remarkable. You won't be able to stop reading this book.
