Author’s Note

 

Dear Reader:

Her Hometown Heart was first published in 1999 as The Haven of Rest (Heartsong Presents). It was reprinted in 2004 in the Wisconsin collection (Barbour Publishing). But thanks to Pelican Book Group and its Prism imprint, I was able to revise and update this story for readers’ enjoyment. It’s also now available in ebook format, which it never was before.

Her Hometown Heart is a special story for me, and not only because I hold fond memories of time spent as a child in Tigerton, Wisconsin, but because I wrote from out of the depths of my heart. I loved my grandparents, Amie & Reuben Johnson, whom I called “Nana” and “Duppa” so much. I’d like to think they’re proud of me and tickled that I wrote a story set in Tigerton and the Town of Morris.

My prayer is that Her Hometown Heart, though a light romance on many levels, will touch every person’s heart that has known the pain and sorrow of a blemished past. There is hope and healing in the arms of Jesus Christ.

Come share the adventure!
