Romance? What romance? Out-of-work Dana is determined not to sway from her commitment to stay unattached. With a special needs child, dwindling bank account and parental pressure, her plate is full. But her growing feelings for anxiety-ridden Ethan complicate life, until he sparks a tragic accident that forces her hand. Now she has to decide the real source of love in her life.
The Truth About Love, Book 1 of the upcoming Fruit of the Spirit series!
  • Can Dana tell one love from another? Her son's life may depend on it!
  • Between the guy, the job, and the elephant, is Renata losing her mind along with her joy?
  • Hairdresser Kendall's plans to buy a funeral home with help from her friend's ex go awry, and things are only made worse by the unexpected appearance of someone with a troubling secret.

A Bit About Me...

I write stories about Christians trying to figure out life. Some people would call me a Jesus freak. I read a whole lot. I have cats. I like tea better than coffee. Love dark chocolate. I eat low-carb. I'm from New Jersey, lived in Florida, and now in Tennessee with my husband. I have 2 awesome sons. I'm paraplegic. I like history and the Philadelphia Eagles. And Snoopy! I'm overly fond of baked goods, especially bear claws with cream cheese in the middle. I adore old black-and-white movies. I've spent a great deal of time thinking about stories when I was supposed to be doing something else, and I thought maybe I should write them down, so here I am! I Hope you find something you like here. :)
Listen to the Soundtrack!

As the story opens, Annalaura and Eddie are at the theatre, watching Casablanca for the 13th time. Check out the best parody ever!

By my fabulous writers' group, the Lady Lits, from our hearts to yours!

In 1944, what does a good Christian girl do with an unwanted pregnancy, and a burning hared for the man who assaulted her? Annalaura skips town to protect her loved ones, especially Eddie, the love of her life.

But Eddie will stop at nothing to find her and bring her home.

And when her attacker resurfaces looking for absolution, Annalaura is confronted with Jesus's command to forgive—and a thirst for revenge.

From small-town New Jersey, to New York City, to the war-torn Philippines of World War II, the lives of three broken people cross, telling the redemptive story of forgiving the unforgiveable, and God's redeeming grace.
