Pockets of Promise, Book #1 in The Pocket Quilt Series, releases on April 30th! With edits complete and the final manuscript moving to the next stage in the process, this dream of mine is getting closer to becoming a reality.

By subscribing to my newsletter, you have an opportunity to read the first chapter of Mariah’s story. The book is about a young Amish woman–torn between two worlds and two men–who travels to the Amish snowbird community of Pinecraft. It is there where she finds wisdom and guidance through secret notes tucked in a special pocket quilt.

In this month’s newsletter, subscribers can read the second chapter of this story. In the December newsletter, I’ll be giving subscribers a sneak peek at the book cover. To celebrate all of this excitement, I’m hosting a giveaway. Enter for a chance to win a prize pack that includes a hardcover copy of Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling for Christmas, an Amish ornament from Wendell August Forge, and a handmade Christmas pocket pillow. Thank you in advance. Good luck!
