Sinking Sand

Prequel to Sweet Sanctuary
After suffering a devastating loss, Dr. Holden Winters steels his heart against the idea of love and against the God he once served. Army nurse Callie Myers wants to learn as much about medicine as possible so she can help care for the people in her small mountain town of Shyler’s Point, Arkansas. Dr. Winters is willing to teach her, but only if she stays quiet about her God. Will the idyllic beauty of Oahu convince Holden that God exists? Or will the horror of the Pearl Harbor attack prove Holden’s belief–God doesn’t care–to Callie?

Sweet Sanctuary

While war rages in Europe, Lydia Eldredge fights a different kind of battle: seeking safety for her young son, Nicky. A constant threat comes from Nicky’s drug-addicted father, who wants the boy and seems willing to do whatever it takes to get him. Dr. Micah Hatcher faithfully serves the immigrant population of Queens, New York. But under the cover of darkness, he has a secret mission that challenges everything he thought he wanted out of life. When Lydia’s and Micah’s paths cross, they are suddenly wrapped up in each other’s callings. Together they seek a place of sanctuary–for Nicky, for themselves, and for the needy people God puts into their lives.

My Soul Sings

(Sequel to Sweet Sanctuary)
The childhood bout of polio that made Jeremiah Hatcher a cripple and weakened his heart forced him to leave his missionary work in Poland earlier than he wanted. Now he’s sent to a small church in the hills of Arkansas to fill in for the minister while the man recovers from an operation. Jeremiah hopes his time in the beautiful mountains will help heal some of the wounds the war inflicted on his spirit and help him cast off his feelings of failure for not saving more from war’s atrocities. But Jeremiah encounters more ugliness in the townsfolk’s ostracism of one of their own–a young woman named Tessy, who’s been branded a jinx. He believes God brought him to the community to help the townspeople overcome their irrational fears and accept Tessy as one of their own. But will befriending her steal his opportunity to truly minister to the people of Shyler’s Point?
