The Song of Copper Creek It's been more than a year since she lost her family in a tragedy that has left Grace Whitaker a shadow of her former self. Unable to move on surrounded by so many memories, she makes the desperate decision to return to her childhood home in Port Dover, Ontario, Canada. There she hopes to salvage the broken pieces of her life, but what she finds is the promise of peace and healing in an unlikely place. Copper Creek Farm is part of a Canadian historical museum, offering glimpses into nineteenth-century pioneer life. Yet the farm offers much more than that, it is a place of second chances. For Grace, the opportunity to work the land alongside the loving Whelan family is the first step toward healing. But she isn't the only broken soul seeking hope on the farm. Grace is joined by a young man in trouble with the law, as well as the Whelan's son and grandchildren, who are struggling through their own heartbreak. Together, these survivors discover the strength that can be found in friendship. But when faced with the uncertainty of the future, will they have the courage to move beyond the past to forge new lives for themselves?

Last week we welcomed a new cocker spaniel mix puppy into the family. And I may never have the energy to write again.

Children's Book Accepted

My next book has been accepted! No idea of the publishing date yet, but it likely won't come out for a year or so. Since I've written just about every other genre in existence, I decided to try my hand at a children's book. Stay tuned for more information!
