Mitch needs some kind of intervention. With his wife’s desertion and subsequent tragic death, life in Mitch Drummond’s home has gotten completely out of hand. Mitch’s job as a detective keeps him away from home at all hours. When his mother-in-law decides she’s had enough of caring for the kids, Mitch is hard pressed to find a nanny—quick. Tassie needs a job until she goes back to school in the fall. An unexpected turn of events brings her into contact with Mitch, and she agrees to be his family’s nanny. But Tassie has no idea what she’s getting into! God can use a willing person to reach even the hardest, most rebellious soul. As Tassie brings light into this dark, dysfunctional family, will love blossom and grow?

His eyes are on the ways of men; he sees their every step. Job 34:21

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!
