Hello folks!
It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve posted here except for little events that I’ve tried to squeeze in where possible! Simply put, my life is all scrambling and mini tragedies these days. 😛 I’ve been sleeping a lot and trying to get it together, but there’s some things only God and His timing can fix.
That said, it’s about time to talk about Novelists in November again, and what better way than from one of the authors of the collection, who also edited it, Andrea Renee Cox!

About Melting-Pot Thanksgiving
Melting-Pot Thanksgiving by Andrea Renee Cox
Can she create the Imperfect Perfect Thanksgiving?
Sarah Jones has many responsibilities on her plate, but Thanksgiving wasn’t supposed to be one of them. When asked to host the holiday, she can’t push aside the task, even if it means dealing with her mother’s interference. As Sarah juggles meal preparations, a tight writing deadline, and guiding her two foster children through difficult life events, she must also find the courage to buck high expectations and family traditions.
Will the trials of strained communication, disappointment, heartache, and altered plans strengthen Sarah’s God-given novelist dreams? Will this imperfect yet dutiful daughter find a way to craft the perfect Thanksgiving dinner?
