HearthLand: Never Spoken
HearthLand is a serial novel released in several chapter episodes.
Episode 32: Susannah leaves HearthLand in hopes of reconciling with her family, but will her parents allow an unwed, pregnant daughter in their home? What about the example set for the younger children? Meanwhile, Audrey's due date has arrived and Zain's parents are here to greet their new grandchild. Boy or girl? Name? If that wasn't enough, Kim's boss is growing bolder--bolder and creepier. Can they stop him before he does something truly dangerous?
Taking a step back in time–deliberately.
After a trip to Walden Farm and an afternoon talking to Chad and Willow Tesdall, Ralph Myner caught a vision for what life could be like. Against the advice of his nephew, Ralph sinks his entire retirement account into an incredibly risky venture.
Harlan Walker thinks his uncle has gone crazy. With the project in motion, all he can do is try to find people to invest their time, money, and even their lives into Ralph’s project before the man ends up broke and without means to survive.
People come from all walks of life as they embrace a new world–the world of HearthLand.

Oh, was this bio day? Oops! I forgot. I was lost in my latest manuscript. Umm... bio. Yeah.
Hi! I’m Chautona Havig. (for those who care, that’s Shuh-TONE-uh HAVE-ig). Yeah. Just work with me here. I should have used a pseudonym, but when you grow up with a name like Chautona, it kind of sticks.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. ~ Hebrews 10: 23–25
Those aren’t just words on a page for me–they’re why I write. I write to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ. The stories I create are to make people laugh, cry, question, consider.
They’re for you.
When the world screams for hope, I try to point you to the true Source of hope–Jesus.
Sometimes life in the church no longer seems a refuge from the pain of a self-serving world around us, but through my stories, I try to point you to the only Refuge that can truly help–the Father’s Everlasting Arms.
And sometimes we just need an escape from the monotony, the emptiness we see around us. We need joy, laughter–what I like to call “just the write escape.”
Christian fiction without apology or pretense–lived, not preached.
What does that even mean?
It means I care–about you. About your walk with Jesus. I care about the words you put before your eyes, the mental pictures those words conjure. It’s difficult to express just how much I love my brothers and sisters in Christ. It’s difficult to share just how much I love you.
But I do.
And I write for you. I sit in my little house in California’s Mojave Desert and I write to show you why one sister believes one thing, why a brother believes another. I write to show you how some Christians handle trials or triumphs–for you. So when you’re faced with something–good or bad, it doesn’t matter–maybe it’ll spark a memory. Maybe that memory will smolder until you pull out your Bible and see what the Lord said about it–about His great love for you. For YOU!
And maybe, just maybe, you’ll share that love with another hurting, confused, or blessed-with-more-than-she-knows-what-to-do-with soul.
I just happen to think that’s the most blessed giving anyone could hope to receive.

With some of the biggies resolving in the last installment, this one explores some of the stories that have taken a back seat for a while. Susannah and Ramiro drive me crazy, but I am loving the way their story enables the community to really shine in all its different facets, and I love the beginnings of some loving restoration in this one. It was fun to meet Zain and Audrey's families and it made me realize I need to go back and re-read their book because I have forgotten so much about them. And finally, I am so ready for some resolution for poor Kim with her maestro so I was happy to see that one get some attention and look forward to the next installment to see what happens with them! And the fact that they are calling Keith for help! Can't wait!!!

The story continues
This is still a really enjoyable and engaging story. It is fun to see the characters develop and to be beside them in their triumphs and struggles. I love the realistic characters that Chautona creates, perfect people get boring, but these characters just grow to become your friends.

Lullabies, lectures, love and lunatics.
Audrey and Zain finally meet their baby. Susannah moves back home. Ramiro is working without having all the facts. Harlan gets himself into a pickle. Kim is in danger, and Annie and Ralph call on a friend. Can't wait for #33!
