Making the Grade

The Serve #10

by Cece Whittaker

Joan Foster is hopelessly in love, and after three patient years of waiting, her wedding is gloriously within sight. There will be pink and white roses, bluebells, carnations, all the beautiful flora she’s imagined for so long. Her dearest friends, Annie, Helen, Bernice, and Laureen make her beautiful veil, and make plans for a magnificent reception. But tragedy strikes when Bernice is suddenly stricken and hospitalized, Helen and Annie’s husbands, Harry and Sly, disappear overseas, and Laureen’s new baby falls perilously ill. With things already on a collision course, when her fiancé Dick comes up with a very practical suggestion, it is all too much for Joan. After all this time, is it curtains for Joan and Dick?

About the author

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your support in my first six books in the Serve Series! There is nothing like good readership to keep the heart & soul alive of an author. It's hard to know whether a book will be well-received, but in all honestly, we can't worry about that. We write what we're called to write, and so far, this has been a wonderful experience.

The latest in the Serve Series, Glorious Christmas, updates our four main characters Joan, Annie, Helen, and Bernice and sends them in directions that one might not have anticipated! Father Bertrand and Monsignor Kuchesky come back more fully into the story, showing more of the compassion of the holy men of the 1940s as well as their humor and generosity. Glorious Christmas brings out the true joy that particularly Joan feels in having found a new and deeper happiness in the real spirit of Christmas!

Thanks for checking in! I wish you very sincerely, a richly rewarding and spiritually enriching Christmas Season.

My desire is to write about and champion experiences that promote goodwill, honesty, and genuine love toward others in all its forms.
