 When Sarah Smiles
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. ~ Isaiah 43:18 NIV
Sarah McCall is waiting to leave for the mission field when the man she once loved steps back into her life. Abandoned as a child by a runaway mother and a gambler father, she strives to overcome a tarnished history she didn’t create and a heartbreak she can’t forget.
Peter Caswell returns to his hometown a widower, dedicating himself to his daughter and congregation. No matter how hard he tries to move on, past mistakes endanger the life he desires to build.
Sarah believes serving in Africa as a missionary will heal the painful past. Peter hopes his childhood friend will help him with his sweet and mischievous four-year-old. When Sarah smiles, it warms his heart and helps him believe he can become the man God desires. But a charming coworker pursues Sarah’s affections—and her childhood nemesis manipulates her way into Peter’s life. With scandal tearing them apart, will Sarah and Peter find a way to put the past behind and embrace a future together?
When Sarah Smiles is a story about two people who learn that only by giving and accepting forgiveness can they truly put the past behind and fully embrace a joyful present and future.
Through a Mirror Dimly
“For now we see in a mirror, but dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, But then I shall know just as I also am known.”
~ 1 Corinthians 12:12
Liana Tate is an attractive special event planner in Seattle. She grew up with her cosmetic-surgeon father, cover-model mother, and a sister who followed in their mother’s footsteps. No matter what she does, Liana feels she never measures up to the family’s reputation or her mother’s expectations.When a natural disaster gives her only six short months to pull one of the most anticipated yearly events in Seattle from the brink of failure, Liana is determined to prove herself.Bryan Langley, a talented musician, was close to signing a recording contract when a barn fire left part of his face severely burned. He survived, but his career did not. Faced with a lengthy recovery and his appearance altered, the studio pulled its offer. Convinced his dreams were destroyed, Bryan struggles to start a new life.
When Liana’s father hires Bryan as a handyman on the family estate, Liana’s and Bryan’s lives become entangled. Liana longs for a handsome and successful husband. Bryan believes no woman could never love him. When Liana is dumped by the man she hopes to marry, Bryan is there to pick up the pieces. His strength, kindness, and listening ear do more than mend her broken heart. Could she love someone like Bryan? A man so far from her dreams and expectations? And despite his attraction to Liana, how can a disfigured handyman fit into her five-star life?
Through a Mirror Dimly is about two people whose lives have not gone according to plan. Though they may not have the answers as to why God says “no” to some dreams and desires, Liana and Bryan begin to see and trust that God not only knows the end of the story, he ultimately knows what’s best for them.
