What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
If you’re
really going to make me choose, I’d have to say either dark chocolate or
cinnamon.
Which mythological creature are you most like?
Oh, call
me a phoenix. I can burn out, or you can extinguish me, but I’d like to think I
can rise up again in a blaze of glory!
First book you remember making an indelible
impression on you.
A couple
of the illustrated story books I had as a child still resonate with me not
because of the stories but because of the wonderful illustrations. I have
gotten rid of hundreds of books I had when I was a kid, but I have kept those
two.
Describe your writing space.
My home
office is in a large bedroom downstairs, with room for my bookshelves, a
roll-top desk (which is a perpetual mess), and my L-shaped computer desk (which
is a bigger desk, so it’s a bigger mess than the roll-top). I like getting the
sunshine through my south-facing windows, and looking out over the backyard—where
we often see wild turkeys parading across the lawn!
Mary
Engelbreit prints decorate my walls, except for the wall behind my computer,
where my collage of faces cut from magazines reminds me which characters I’m
writing about and (sort of) what they look like. I have a lot of little stuff
around that was Mom’s, or that nieces/nephews have made for me, or that
belonged to my great-grandmother and other family members who’re no longer
alive. I also have a walk-in closet crammed with copies of my books, my yarn
for crocheting, and my other craft stuff. It’s a mess, too, so “walk in” is
sometimes an optimistic description.
BLURB:
For Leah
Otto, marrying Jude Shetler is a long-held dream come true. As a young girl,
she was captivated by his good looks and talent as an auctioneer. When Jude,
now a widower with three children, begins to court her, Leah doesn’t hesitate.
Other men may not appreciate her tomboy ways, but Jude values Leah’s practical
nature and her skill with the animals she tends, and both enter the marriage
with joy and optimism.
Three
months later, Leah feels as if her world is coming down around her. Her twin
teenage step-daughters, Alice and Adeline, are pushing boundaries and taking
far too many risks, while five-year-old Stevie deeply misses his mother. Leah,
more at ease in a barn tending her goats and chickens than in a kitchen,
struggles with her housekeeping duties.
Then a
baby is abandoned on their doorstep, and Leah must search her soul. Caring for
little Betsy fills her with renewed purpose and the strength to begin pulling
her family together. With Jude’s steadfast support, Leah finds that what she
once thought of as a happy ending may be something even better—the beginning of
a life rich in love, faith, and unexpected blessings.
