Speaking of Sharlene MacLaren...


Be sure to mark your calendars for September, as that's when Sharlene MacLaren's next book is to hit shelves. Looks like it will be a good one.

About Long Journey Home:

After divorcing her abusive husband, single mother, Callie May, is still nursing the scars of a painful past. The last thing she needs in her life is another man, so she’s less than thrilled when a handsome but brooding stranger moves into the apartment across the hall. Dan Mattson may be attractive, but his circumstances certainly aren’t; a former pastor, he abandoned his flock in Michigan and fled to the Chicago suburbs after the death of his beloved wife and baby daughter in a tragic automobile accident. Embittered by his loss, Dan turns his back on God. Callie mistrusts men, and the angry Dan often gives her good reason. Both are weighed down by the scars and disappointment in their pasts. When Callie’s ex-husband shows up to wreak more havoc in her life, Dan finds himself coming to her defense—and facing his own demons in the process. Will Dan and Callie be able to get past their baggage and give love another chance? Can they come to see life’s tragedies as part of God’s perfect plan? And most important, will they allow the power of God to change their hearts and mend their hurts?


And here's another exciting announcement from her website...

In November 2007, I signed another three-book contract with Whitaker House for a series entitled: THE DAUGHTERS OF JACOB KANE.

This trilogy focuses on each of three sisters who live with their father, Jacob, and their very proper English grandmother, Helena, in the fictional west Michigan resort town of Sandy Shores in the early 1900s. The beautiful and determined sisters help run the family’s general store, Kane’s Whatnot, while discovering true love and a deeper sense of God’s purpose for their lives.
