Welcome to a new year, and a new book.
Today, co-owner and executive editor Tamera Lynn Kraft is in the hot seat, talking about her newest release, THE AFTERMATH, the third and final (and long-awaited) book in her Ladies of Oberlin historical series.
The first two books are:
RED SKY OVER AMERICA, leading up to the Civil War, and dealing with issues of slavery and social reform at that time in our country's history.
LOST IN THE STORM, taking place during the war, where a woman journalist struggles to prove herself by obtaining an interview with a military hero who is trying to avoid the spotlight and hide his secret shame.
Now THE AFTERMATH takes place several years after the war, and deals with issues of temperance, alcoholism, PTSD, the abuse of women and children, and confidence and self-image, for those physically damaged by the war.

Join managing editor Michelle Levigne and marketing director Jerah Alvarado as they and Tamera chat about the stories behind the story.

FORGIVEN
Tabor Heights Year One, Book 6

The hardest thing Nikki has ever done is go home to Tabor Heights, to the people who know how far she fell, and the hearts she broke. Four years after she ran away with Brock Pierson, she has turned her life around, getting right with her family and with God. Now, working for the Arc Foundation, she is sent to assess the Mission for funding. She refuses to fail the God who has forgiven her, and let down her home church.

Turning against his drug-runner boss and working for the DEA was just the first step for Brock to pay for his crimes. Released from prison, he follows Nikki home. Now that he has given his life to God, he wants more than anything to win her back, and make sure their love is the right kind. Shadows from his past might prevent that, just when redemption is within reach.

Nikki knows she won't find full healing until she forgives Brock, but she discovers she has to forgive herself, first.
