Will We Ever See the Same Sky?
Will We Ever See The Same Sky? is a gritty, soul-stirring debut novel that blends heartache, hope, and the quiet power of faith in the lives of broken teenagers-and one man running from the past.
Five years ago, tragedy shattered Luke Reed's world. Once a passionate teacher, he now drifts through life, seeking justice while avoiding the pain he can't outrun. But when a last-minute subbing job lands him in a chaotic classroom, Luke finds himself facing a group of students grappling with hard-core issues: teen pregnancy, abuse, identity crisis, suicide, and loss of faith. Among them are Adora, a withdrawn girl with haunted eyes, and Cameron, whose red leather journal carries secrets heavier than rage. To further complicate matters, Genevieve Farraday, the brilliant, beautiful, and firmly grounded science teacher tries to block him at every turn.
Luke never planned to stay. But something-God, guilt, or both-draws him back, day by day, into their pain. And in helping them heal, he may find his own path forward. Rich in character and spiritual depth, this unforgettable story asks: In a world of brokenness, can we still find redemption? And will we ever see the same sky?
Keeping Grace
Grace VanHope is rebuilding her life the only way she knows how-with grit, her freshly earned degree, and her hypochondriac aunt who views funerals as grand, idea-gathering opportunities for her own planned event.
Convinced she'll be dead within the year, Aunt Lucy drags Grace to the most extravagant funeral of the season where Grace collides with Benjamin Bainbridge-the man who once refused her an interview at his electronics company. Not recognizing her, he now believes she's just a salty-tongued waitress in fringed cowboy boots. Grace doesn't bother enlightening him. Why would she?
But when Benjamin discovers he's suddenly responsible for his late sister's twins, Grace becomes his only hope. Unaware of her pain-both personally and professionally-Benjamin is frustrated and confused by her initial refusal to watch the twins for two weeks while he is out of town.
What begins as a two-week nanny arrangement turns into something far messier-and far more healing-than either of them expected. Between outrageous Amex bills, missed deadlines and unexpected admiration, Grace finds herself laughing again...feeling again...and healing in ways she never imagined.
Heart, humor, and a whole lot of hope-Keeping Grace is a tender, witty romance about second chances and the courage it takes to start again.
