When Laine Forrester travels to France to attend her longtime friend’s vineyard wedding, she expects to find a bride on the brink of a fairy-tale life. But after a series of unforeseen setbacks–a devastating diagnosis, a castle restoration put on hold, and the emergence of deep-seated family dynamics that threaten to derail the new couple’s fledgling marriage–it seems the storybook life Laine had imagined for her friend–and once, for herself–is suddenly crumbling before her eyes.
With hopes of resurrecting a happy ending for one of them, Laine throws support behind her friend and agrees to accompany the couple to the groom’s family home in Ireland, where the merging of a mysterious inheritance, long-buried wounds, and a fractured family set out to upend the trip from the start. It’s in the unlikely corners of a historic Dublin pub, and across the wide-open moors bordering Ireland’s majestic Wicklow Mountains, that Laine is slowly drawn in by the land and the people, sparking hope for something she never imagined possible: the courage to heal. But with secrets of her own–and a heart afraid to trust again–Laine must determine how much she’s willing to risk in mending the broken places within herself, and whether she believes that even through the depths of our pain, a beautiful story can emerge.
Set in three time-periods–the revolutionary era of the late eighteenth century, Ireland’s turbulent Easter week of the 1916 Rising, and present day–Castle on the Rise weaves a story of legacy, conviction, and redemption against the backdrop of Dublin’s storied streets, and the stretch of Ireland’s stunning emerald shores.

A decorated Mississippi sharpshooter, Jones has a vision on the battlefield and, despite the severity of his wounds, believes his life will be spared. But a life without his leg, he can’t abide. He compels Elizabeth “Lizzie” Clouston–governess to the McGavock family at the Carnton mansion–to intervene should the surgeon decide to amputate.

As he coalesces at Carnton, romance has blossomed between him and Lizzie–a woman already betrothed to a man she does not love.
From the pages of history and the personal accounts of those who endured the Battle of Franklin, Tamera Alexander weaves the real-life love letters between Captain Roland Ward Jones and Elizabeth Clouston into a story of unlikely romance first kindled amid the shadows of war.

Mary Sees All
$15.99Add to cartNot Perfect Yet Publishing
Mary Sees All: The race to save Jesus from the Cross, is a fast paced Christian novel set near Jerusalem during the fateful week that Jesus was crucified. Mary of Bethany has a unique point of view, a lyrical voice, and a gift for drama. Both outrageous and outcast, she is an unforgettable heroine in this, the first of four books set in biblical times.This book truly does describe a race to keep Jesus from dying. The twists and turns of the story are unexpected. The tone of the book is adventurous. Jesus’s friends exhibit extraordinary resourcefulness as they work together, first to understand their teacher, then to protect him, and finally to escape being arrested themselves. Mary is a seer, known for her gift of prophesy, but considered too strange to be taken seriously. Her sister, Martha is pragmatic, generous, but like a wild animal when someone or something threatens the people she loves. Lazarus, on the other hand, is depressed, having recently spent time being dead. Together with a vivid supporting cast, they tell the dramatic story of Holy Week in a fresh and compelling way.
This Bethany’s People historical fiction series is meticulously researched. Kemp makes each scene reflect both current biblical scholarship and ancient understandings about society and spirituality. The Bethany’s People series, however, is free of jargon, doctrine, or any expectation that the reader knows scripture or the underlying story. The four books can be read in any order, but by publishing Mary Sees All first the author is throwing the reader into the middle of this fascinating historical period. Book 2: Martha Finds Rest will tell the story of the early church and the destruction of Jerusalem. Book 3: Lazarus Dies First will go back to the madness of the Herodian kings and the Zealots that opposed them. The final volume, Book 4: Mark Goes Everywhere leaves Palestine for the mission field, recounting the rarely told story of how people from North Africa came to faith, living out the story of Jesus with their own customs and traditions. The author believes that bringing Jesus’s relationships, actions, and teachings, into sharp focus against the backdrop of that distant era, can help any reader, no matter what their spiritual background, discover a deeper and more authentic understanding of God’s grace and how we ought to live.
