Finally. Nine years after writing the original story. Four years after pitching it to an editor who showed interest. And twenty months after I signed a contract.
I should now have a “major” in patience.
But like the long pregnancy is mostly forgotten after the beautiful baby is born, I stare at my beautiful book baby and smile. Please smile with me. And if you’d like to read a story that’s clean, full of heartfelt emotion, and southern families, pick up your copy at:
Amazon
Barnes and Noble
Shop LPC
For those of you in North Alabama, Jessie’s Hope will soon be available at Cold Water Books in Tuscumbia and Mary’s Bridal and Formal Wear in Moulton. Hopefully, I’ll have copies there by July 1st. Thank you to all those who encouraged me on this journey to being a debut novelist. 🙂
Jessie’s Hope
Can a sliver of hope lead to everlasting love?
Years ago, an accident robbed Jessie Smith’s mobility. It also stole her mother and alienated her from her father. When Jessie’s high school sweetheart Matt Jansen proposes, her parents’ absence intensifies her worry that she cannot hold on to those she loves.
With a wedding fast approaching, Jessie’s grandfather Homer has a goal to find the perfect dress for “his Jessie,” one that would allow her to forget, even if for a moment, the boundaries of her wheelchair. But financial setbacks and unexpected sabotage hinder his plans.
Determined to heal from her past, Jessie initiates a search for her father. Can a sliver of hope lead to everlasting love when additional obstacles—including a spurned woman and unpredictable weather—highjack Jessie’s dream wedding?
Jessie’s Hope sounds like a real good book, I would love to read it someday! Thank you so much for sharing this and letting us know a little about the story! I love the cover! And I love what the book is about. God Bless you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Alicia. The story is dear to my heart. I think the publisher did a wonderful job on the cover also…
