"This was a fabulous, fantastic, best ever Christmas book. WOW!" -Advance reader She's a fixer... He's about as broken as they come... Can they learn to turn to God for healing and hope this Christmas? Leah has always been a fixer. That's why she decided to foster a troubled teen. And it's why she's determined to give him the perfect Christmas. It might also be why she feels compelled to reach out to her grinchy, reclusive neighbor Austin. But she'll have to be careful that reaching out doesn't turn into something more--she's been hurt by crossing the line from friendship to romance once, and she's not willing to let it happen again. After losing his leg, his friend, and his faith in Afghanistan, Austin figures he's about as broken as they come. For Austin, Hope Springs is simply a stopping point--a place to rehabilitate his leg, get over the burden of his PTSD, and get back into shape to redeploy. He has no desire to get to know anyone while he's here, least of all the meddlesome--if sweet--woman next door. But when she calls on him to help her make Christmas special for her foster son, something compels him to relent. Soon, his heart belongs to both of them. But what if Austin is too broken for even Leah to fix? Can the two of them learn to turn to God for hope and healing--and maybe even a chance at love--this Christmas? Not Until Christmas Morning is a heartwarming Christian romance filled with faith, love, and the reminder to trust God "even if." *** "Not Until Christmas Morning is such an inspiring and uplifting book that you won't want to wait until Christmas to read it! I loved this story of how God can make something beautiful out of broken people and their painful circumstances. If you've ever been angry with God about the suffering in your life or the lives of loved ones, then this book will give you hope. Highest recommendation!" -Advance reader *** While the books in the Hope Springs series are linked, each features a complete romance about a different couple and can be read in any order.

How does a walk with your dog on one wintry evening change the course of your life from status quo to serendipity? That's the question I answer in my inspirational story depicting a time in one woman's life when she's all but given up on her future. Fiercely independent, she hides behind the thick armor she wears of her own making, thinking if she lives her life in this manner, no one will ever hurt her again. Boxing herself off comes at a high price though-loneliness and loss of self-worth. In essence, she's lost hope. My story is about finding it again. It was their nightly walk that started out no different than any other midwinter evening. With only her beloved West Highland white terrier, Marshmallow, as her companion, she is about to embark on a journey that will alter her world as she knows it. Her complacent life would soon be changed forever by coming to terms with her deep-rooted and unfounded guilt. She strives to raise her two sons alone after a painful divorce, all the while trying to make the world a better place for children as a children's advocate. She prays to God for guidance and to help her make sense of where her life is leading and to find happiness. She is in awe and, at times, even disbelief that God would personally answer her never-ending prayers by transporting her back into time to resolve her issues with her past. In a continuing battle to regain her old way of life, she soon learns that God makes all our plans, and only in His time are we fully able to grasp His intentions. With the help of a handsome but puzzling guide, she finally settles down and begins to carve out a new life for herself in a new world. Fifty-year-old Hope is about to have her prayers answered in a way she never expected.
