Life has been hard for Victoria Whitmore, but at long last things are beginning to fall into place. As she has long desired, Victoria is going to open a gift shop with her mother. But when Mom suddenly falls in love with a man she meets on a cruise, Victoria's dreams collapse. How could her mother abandon her? How could she drop everything and move to Alaska? As things turn out, Victoria's new "step-brother," Buck, is even more of a threat to her precious plans. She has to admit that Buck is everything she could want in a husband. But how can she trust another man after all that has happened to her? And how can she lay aside her anger at God? Just as she begins to deal with these issues, life takes a strange twist. Can Victoria's new love and trust survive in the face of a terrible surprise?

Joyce Livingston has done many things in her life (in addition to being a wife, mother of six and grandmother to oodles of grandkids)--from being a television broadcaster for eighteen years, to lecturing and teaching on quilting and sewing, to writing magazine articles on a variety of subjects. She’s danced with Lawrence Welk, ice-skated with a chimpanzee, had bottles broken over her head by stuntmen, interviewed hundreds of celebrities and well-known figures, and many interesting and unusual things. Later she became a part-time tour escort and traveled to wonderful and exotic places. Joyce became a widow in 2004. In 2008, she married her Sunday school teacher, Pastor Dale Lewis (who had also lost his spouse), and became a pastor’s wife, serving daily with him in his ministry. She is also very active in the women’s ministry of her church and recently wrote and led a well-received Bible study she called, “It’s All about the Shoes!” Four of her books have been named Contemporary Book of the Year in the Heartsong Readers Poll, and she was voted Favorite Author of the Year 3 times. In addition, her Heartsong book, One Last Christmas, won the coveted Contemporary Book of the Year award given by The American Christian Fiction Writers organization. In addition to writing for Barbour, Joyce also writes for Love Inspired. Her first venture into a larger women’s fiction book was The Widow’s Club, also published by Barbour, which was soon followed up with a second book, Invasion of the Widow’s Club. Joyce has always thought of her writing as a calling of God, and hopes that her readers will be touched and uplifted by what she writes. Recently God led her to discover “Bible Journaling.” As a result, she organized and teaches a continuing series, showing Women how to “Bible Journal.” Lives are being changed as God speaks to women through this amazing way to get deeply into his Word. What’s on the horizon for Joyce? Whatever God calls her to do – she’s ready!
