When you pour blood, sweat, and tears onto every page of each published book, it’s tough to choose only one of those books as a favorite. But I’ve promised my Newsies I’d give you the inside scoop on which book I consider my favorite–and provide a list of other best-selling authors and their favorites!
My Favorite…
If I have to choose just one… 😥
Y’all, so much about writing Love Amid the Ashes was miraculous. I typed the whole thing on my laptop in a little hutch right in the traffic pattern between our entryway and living room–wearing ear plugs so I could concentrate! It was the first novel I’d ever written, start-to-finish, within six months. I barely knew what POV meant (Point-of-View) or how to construct a viable character, scene, or chapter.
Each day, I sat down at that little desk and prayed, “Lord, if you don’t tell me what to write, I’ve got nothing!”
So, He did. Love Amid the Ashes–the story of Job and Jacob’s daughter, Dinah–poured out with the emotion and raw truth of my own chronic illness battle. Of course, my experience wasn’t and still isn’t anything like Job’s, but the fear, the struggle with well-meaning friends, and the ultimate freedom of an all-powerful and loving God is very much the same.
