Before We Were Strangers


Book Description

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M

Beneath The Surface


Book Description

It is 2002 as Melvin stands atop the bluff that overlooks the now-deserted land he has inherited from his recently deceased father, glancing down at the ground he has called home all the years of his life. As memories flood his mind, he realizes he is not as prepared as he should be for the uncertainty that lies ahead, but grateful he has his wife, Mattie, by his side to help him. Although his spiritual journey has been rocky at times, his faith in God is strong. Eight years later, Ida is a devoted teacher who is doing her best to claw her way out of the darkness that has enveloped her mind and prompted suicidal thoughts. As she heads to a beautiful bluff that brought her much peace in the past, she reflects on her life experiences and her own spiritual journey while navigating her way through a path lined with thick briars and branches. She has driven to this place for answers—searching for something outside herself, her own being. Will she find the answers or something much better? In this beautiful story of faith, love, and hope of new beginnings, God strategically places two strangers together, intertwining their pasts with connections only He could have known.




The Wedding Chapel

Neither Bella nor Colin have any recollection of saying ‘I do’, although their respective grandparents assure them they’ve done just that.
