“That I may walk before God in the light of the living …”
Returning home after a visit to her sister, Alice Strauss is caught off guard when her husband, Peter, raises a subject long buried beneath years of grief: adoption. For Peter, it feels like a hopeful next step, but for Alice, the idea awakens old fears—deeply tied to her own complex past and the fragile peace she’s only just begun to reclaim.
With contentment finally within reach and their life settling into a welcome rhythm, Alice worries she may do more harm than good as a mother. As sorrow and betrayal strike close to home—shattering friendships, fracturing families, and bringing unexpected losses—Alice and Peter must once again cling to each other and to the faith that sustained them through their darkest days.
This novel is the seventh book in The Chronicles of Alice & Ivy, a Victorian family saga with strong Christian themes.

Speaking of new projects, this weekend was my 10-year authorversary!

That’s right–ten years ago, on January 10th, 2016, I published The Dressmaker’s Secret … and my author journey officially started.

With this in mind, I thought it would be fun to recap my “stats” for the last ten years. Here’s how writing has gone so far:

TTFN!
