For a limited time, Blue Columbine can be purchased as part of a multi-author box set.

Sarah Sharpe has grown up as a carpenter’s daughter, knowing only the rough and work-heavy world of her father’s blue-collar profession. Abandoned by her mother as a baby, she’s lived twenty-one years content to drive nails at her dad’s side. Following her father into the world of construction was a natural path, and she took it without a second thought. But a harsh comment about her “butch” appearance sends her on a search for identity.

Enter handsome and easygoing Jesse Chapman, the roofer she meets on her first foray into volunteer work for Homes For Hope. In every way, the quirky man is her opposite—confident, a people kind of guy, and most importantly, happy.  His likable qualities continue to draw her in, and for some reason he keeps coming back to her. But they can’t be more than friends—he’s made that crystal clear. Except for a handful of times…and the confusion is driving her crazy.

Sarah’s quest for self-definition becomes more tangled than she ever imagined, and she discovers that the journey will take her deeper than clothes and makeup. Filling the void in her heart becomes an obsession she cannot escape. How far is she willing to go to discover who she really is?

Thank you for taking a journey with Suzanna and Paul. I hope their imaginary lives blessed your real life. When I write, I am ever-mindful—and prayerful—that these stories speak hope and life to whomever may be reading.

I have to confess that the town of Rock Creek is completely fictional. I named it after a park my family enjoys. When I began this story, I had a real place in mind, and pictured it throughout the telling, but I couldn’t bear the thought of painting, in any degree, any of the wonderful towns in my rural area with a shade of malice or snobbery. As a small-town transplant from a big-city upbringing, I can say there is always a fear coming into a little town that the new girl will be snubbed, that she won’t fit in or be welcomed into the already-established social groups. That wasn’t the case in my move, and as I’ve visited other little towns, I have found there are always kind hearts who welcome just as sure as there will be ones who are cold and closed. I hope you’ll forgive my liberty in making a place up!

Jennifer Rodewald is passionate about the Word of God and the powerful vehicle of story. The draw to fiction has tugged hard on her heart since childhood, and when she began pursuing writing she set on stories that reveal the grace of God.

Jen lives and writes in a lovely speck of a town where she watches with amazement while her children grow up way too fast, gardens, and marvels at God’s mighty hand in everyday life. Four kids and her own personal superman make her home in southwestern Nebraska delightfully chaotic.

She would love to hear from you! Please visit her at
