Beneath a Southern Sky
The accident that killed Abby Patterson’s husband and daughter has left her with a limp and chronic pain. Abby strikes out, determined to build a new life for herself. She finds the perfect home: a cottage on the beach. At least, it would be perfect except for one tiny irritant: Marsh Winslow, her landlord. But when Abby witnesses a hit-and-run accident and the trauma leaves her with amnesia, she finds an unexpected source of help: Marsh! When mysterious events make it clear that Abby is now a target, she and Marsh join forces to uncover a dangerous secret. Together they discover that God is in the business of putting broken lives back together so that they are more beautiful—and more perfect—than ever.

Leigh Spenser, a young teacher and single mother of ten-year-old Billy, is thrown into conflict. Clay Wharton, the boy’s estranged father, comes home to Seaside, New Jersey, to await the passing of his twin brother, Ted—now dying of AIDS. Threats against Billy’s life ratchet the tension tighter, as Leigh wrestles with both tough and tender feelings for her old flame. Clay’s own conflict, as he seeks to come to grips with his brother’s lifestyle choices and the needs of the boy he fathered, underline the issue of God’s forgiveness in the hearts—and lives—of this modern-day family. An emotionally gripping read!

—Romantic Times
After his guardian’s severe illness, pastor Paul Trevelyan returns to his congregation in Seaside with a big surprise—a wife he’s been estranged from for seven years. It was the ailing old man’s wish that Dori and Trev return to each other, and they agree, as long as they can sleep in separate bedrooms.

This blizzard of difficulties leaves just a snowball’s chance of a thaw between the stubborn spouses …
