In this thrilling two-novella collection by Lynette Eason and Dani Pettrey, two sets of characters each face their own snow storm with their own set of challenges and dangers.

‘A Deeper Well’ Book Review

February 23, 2026

This gut-wrenching novel by Jill Eileen Smith was so difficult to get through without my heart absolutely breaking for the Samaritan woman mentioned in John 4.

‘Hearts on the Fly’ Book Review

February 10, 2026

In her most personal and vulnerable novel yet, Toni Shiloh blended an exciting sports story accented with the same troubling medical condition experienced by her father in real life.
