Rylee Thompson swore she left town for bigger and better things, but when she’s forced to move back, it’s clear she was trying to outrun her past. Now her only escape is throwing herself into DIY projects and trying to grow her online audience.
Clayton Daniels needs his construction business to be a success, but finding the right help is easier said than done. It isn’t until he runs into his childhood best friend that he knows Rylee would be perfect for the job.
There’s only one problem. She’s too wounded from their past to entertain the possibility of a future.
He’d do anything just to be around her again, and she’ll do anything to hold onto her anger. But even Rylee can’t resist the undeniable pull between them.
Can she learn to trust her best friend again, or will Clayton never get the chance to prove to Rylee he might just be the love she’s always hoped for?

After her husband’s unexpected death eighteen months ago, Kausar Khan never thought she’d receive another phone call as heartbreaking—until her thirty-something daughter, Sana, phones to say that she's been arrested for killing the unpopular landlord of her clothing boutique. Determined to help her child, Kausar heads to Toronto for the first time in nearly twenty years.
Returning to the Golden Crescent suburb where she raised her children and where her daughter still lives, Kausar finds that the thriving neighborhood she remembered has changed. The murder of Sana’s landlord is only the latest in a wave of local crimes which have gone unsolved.
And the facts of the case are Sana found the man dead in her shop at a suspiciously early hour, with a dagger from her windowfront display plunged in his chest. And Kausar—a woman with a keen sense of observation and deep wisdom honed by her years—senses there’s more to the story than her daughter is telling.
With the help of some old friends and her plucky teenage granddaughter, Kausar digs into the investigation to uncover the truth. Because who better to pry answers from unwilling suspects than a meddlesome aunty? But even Kausar can’t predict the secrets, lies, and betrayals she finds along the way…

Sometimes what you think you want and what you actually want turn out to be different things . . .
Rosie Waterman has one to become a working actor. But lately, that hasn't been working out. When she loses her apartment and her job on the same day, she does what she always does--puts herself out there, ready to find the next big thing. But a trip home makes her realize that while she's been struggling to make this dream come true, all her friends have become real adults with careers and weddings and babies on the way. Rosie's been at this for years, and she has nothing to show for it. But how does she simply let go of her dream?
When she's offered a job as the director of a regional theatre's production of Cinderella, she jumps at the chance--even though she's only directed in college and the job is in Door County, Wisconsin, and not in New York. She has no other offers, and at least she'll be getting paid to do something theatrical. But when she arrives, she quickly realizes that the "regional theatre" is actually in a retirement community, and the "actors" are actually senior citizens with no acting experience whatsoever.
Working on the show presents new challenges, forcing Rosie to learn how to step up and be the leader this fledgling theatre troupe needs. The more time she spends with her new cast, the more she begins to rethink what it means to dream big, especially when that big dream hasn't turned out to be at all what she thought it would be. It's not at all what she expected, but could it be exactly what she needs?

In The Visit: Storm Returns, our favorite family in their small yellow car is making another trip to Nana's house. This time they are not seeking refuge from an approaching storm, but are instead bringing relief and rescue to Nana and Poppa whose community, far from the coast, has been shockingly decimated by a hurricane overnight.
The author never imagined she would write another story inspired by her personal experience with hurricanes. Her first book: The Visit: A Hurricane Fable was written in response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian in Southwest Florida in 2022. Unbelievably, two years later, Hurricane Helene's wind, rain and tornados ravaged coastal and inland communities across six states, including the author's new hometown in south Georgia. The Visit: Storm Returns remembers the pain these communities endured and celebrates all those who came or sent help in their time of need.
Again, even though this story is presented in a picture-book format, the subject matter is best understood by older readers or explained by adults. Hurricane Helene impacted - and will continue to impact for years - more people than can be counted. Hurricane season will return, and with it, memories of the past and concern for the future. It is the prayer of the author that her books will promote healing as everyone shares their stories and remembers God's faithfulness.
