Exciting News from Rachel Hauck

I received Rachel Hauck's latest newsletter in my inbox today and I thought some of you, especially those of you who may be fans of country music, might be interested to find out that she has teamed up with award-winning Country Music artist Sara Evans for an upcoming fiction series, "Born To Fly." The first book, "The Sweet By and By" will be released next spring.

Rachel's comments from her newsletter:

"I've been tapped to write with Sara and couldn't be more thrilled to work on this project.

In "Sweet By and By" you'll meet Jade Fitzgerald, a vintage shop owner in fictional Whisper Hollow, TN, nestled in the southern Appalachians. About to be married, she is challenged to invite her own mother, Beryl Hill, a '67, Summer of Love hippie who's lived life her own way.

Mother and daughter are estranged but when Beryl shows up for the nuptials early, Jade finally confronts their shared, dark secret."

Description from Nelson:

Jade Fitzgerald left her past in the dust when she headed out for college a decade ago. Now she's thriving in her career, standing tall, and standing in the light of Jarred Benson's love.

But when Jade's hippie mother, Beryl Hill, arrives in Whisper Hollow, Tennessee, for the wedding along with her older brother and wild younger sister, Jade must throw open the dark closets of her past--the insecurity of living with a restless, wandering mother, the silence of her absent father, and the heart-ripping pain of first-love's rejection.

Turns out Beryl has a secret of her own. She needs reconciliation with her oldest daughter before leukemia takes her life. In the final days leading to the wedding, mother and daughter discover the past has no hold on their future. With a little grace, they'll meet in the middle, maybe even before that sweet by and by.

Sounds like it will be a good one. Don't forget to sign up for Rachel's newsletter on her homepage, so you, too, can keep up with all her latest news.
