Have you recently lost your husband? Are there days when you feel so terribly alone—and that no one else could possibly understand?

Author Gayle Roper understands. As a recent widow herself, Gayle writes:

So who am I now that there's only one place at the table...one pillow with a head dent, one damp towel after a shower. There's only one toothbrush in the holder. The seat is never left up anymore.

I can still write Mrs. in front of my name, but I'm no longer in a marriage relationship. You need two people for a marriage and there's only me.

Is there only you? Then join Gayle as she draws on her emotions during the loss of her beloved husband, Chuck, and offers you a compassionate devotional to encourage you through your darkest days. Gayle knows a widow's pain is deep. But she also knows God's love is deeper still. And it's in His love you'll find your deepest comfort.

Rachel Beiler loves her job as the teacher in her Amish community. She’s obedient, humble, and compliant and tries to keep the ordnung to the best of her ability. But Rachel has a secret—something that could get her shunned if she’s found out. She loves knowledge and yearns for a college education.

After serving a dozen years in the Army, Rob Lanier has returned from Afghanistan. But now that he’s home again, he’s constantly reminded of his family’s fall from grace. His father—once a highly respected and wealthy community leader—has disgraced the family, and Rob can’t find it in his heart to forgive him.

When Rachel and Rob meet, sparks fly. But when a series of frightening events surrounding Rachel’s brother Johnny brings Rachel’s world crashing down around her, this unlikely match between an Amish teacher and an Englischer ex-soldier seems to be God’s perfect answer.

But she soon discovered danger lurked behind the holly bushes when a dead body turned up in her car! The trouble didn't end there--gunshots, attacks and a handsome new friend who might not be what he seemed.

Surrounded by suspects, Merry would have to use all her investigative skills to keep from becoming front-page news--as the killer's next victim.

Reporter and small-town sleuth Merry Kramer was on the trail of the supposed killer when she uncovered more murder suspects than she ever thought possible--an ex-wife, an ex-girlfriend and suspicious business associates. Nothing added up.

But with Merry embroiled in the story, danger wasn't far behind. And those she thought trustworthy--even charming Curt Carlyle--might not be who they seem....

Of course, it didn't seem quite so posh when I came face-to-face with a man escaping the scene of his crime--a murder right next door to the house I was decorating. Now my life's on the line until the police find the murderer, and I'm guarded 24/7 by my panicky roommates and the overprotective owner of the housing development, Gray Edwards.

As a believer, I know help truly comes from the Lord, but I sure wish He'd sent someone less handsome.

The third book in the Seaside Seasons series, Cass's mother, father, and nephew all need her—but have Cass's dreams gotten lost in the crunch?

The proud proprietor of her own bed-and-breakfast in sleepy Seaside, New Jersey, Cass Merton is intrigued by Dan Harmon, who arrives at SeaSong for an extended stay. After witnessing the collapse of the Twin Towers in New York City, the godly finance specialist is rethinking his life, career, and relationships—or lack of them.

Meanwhile, Cass is questioning her consent to care for her easygoing nephew and feisty teenage niece for a whole year while their parents work in the Middle East. Add in Cass’s four brothers, who don’t take Dad’s compulsive contest entries and Mom’s increasing dementia one bit seriously, and her emotions swirl like the quickly rising hurricane that’s fast approaching Seaside.

But everyday cares aren’t Cass’s only problems. And when a troubled, young employee unknowingly endangers her, and Cass is taken hostage by a gunman, Dan will have to look urgently to the Lord for help.
