Home Another Way by Christa Parrish
After her mother’s death and her father’s abandonment, tiny infant Sarah Graham was left to be raised by her emotionally distant grandmother. As a child she turned to music for solace and even gained entrance to Juilliard. But her potentially brilliant music career ended with an unplanned pregnancy and the stillborn birth of her child.
In an attempt to escape the past, Sarah, now twenty-seven, is living life hard and fast and she is flat broke. When her estranged father dies, she travels to the tiny mountain hamlet of Jonah, New York, to claim her inheritance. Once there, she learns her father’s will stipulates a six-month stay before she can receive the money. Fueled by hate and desperation, Sarah settles in for the bitter mountain winter, and as the weeks pass, she finds her life intertwining with the lives of the simple, gracious townsfolk. Can these strangers teach Sarah how to forgive and find peace?
A story of grace, of God’s never-ceasing love, and the sometimes flawed, faithful people He uses to bring His purposes to pass.
Releasing October, 2008 from Bethany

Wow, Rel, thanks for the gorgeous *coming soon* – that’s so generous of you! I really appreciate it, and I do hope you enjoy the novel when it comes out 🙂 I notice you have Lisa Samson’s most recent book as your giveaway. She’s one of my favorite Christian authors. I spent a bit of time with her at a writers’ conference in Philly two years ago, and will be seeing her again this July (at ICRS Orlando) and August. She’s very cool!Thank you again. I’m posting your blog on mine so others can find your wonderful reviews.Christa

I enjoy relationship dramas and am glad to learn about Christa’s book. The cover is also very appealing.
