Gillian’s
Heart
Book
Blurb
As
a tribute to Gram’s memory, Gillian is determined to restore the house to its
original beauty and hires Dusty, a handyman and surfer, to help her. Dusty
shares the apartment above the garage with Gillian’s childhood friend, Josh.
Gillian
and Dusty have nothing in common, except the restoration of the house. Later
they discover their shared grief for beloved grandparents. But Gillian also
suffers from anorexia and abandonment, and is in denial. While she has a strong
faith in God, Dusty is an unbeliever. Concern for his salvation, they agree he
will attend church if she will attend a twelve-step program.
It
is during a twelve-step meeting Betsy, Gillian’s mother, arrives and announces
the house was left to her, not Gillian, and she plans to sell it.
Gillian
always dreamed of her wedding in her grandmother’s garden overlooking the
Pacific. Will there be a wedding? Who will capture Gillian’s heart—stable Josh
or can she trust Dusty, a new Christian, who has kept secrets from her? And who
holds the deed to the house?
Sweet Charity
Book Blurb
A
pregnant high school senior, she is banished by her parents to live with her
spinster aunt in Chicago.

her work and avoids intimate relationships. Hope, the daughter Nancy gave up for adoption
twenty years earlier, finds her. A bond blossoms between them but is challenged
by Hope’s leukemia. Hope needs a bone marrow transplant, but she has a rare
blood type. Nancy is not a match. Nancy is determined to find Skip, Hope’s

disappeared so mysteriously.
