Selah Award Finalist in Women's Fiction 2022 "This lovely novel, centered on three generations of women as they face a summer of change, will resonate with readers long after the last page is turned." ~~Suzanne Woods Fisher, Bestselling author of On a Summer's Tide This was my very first inspirational Women's Fiction! That's after having 20+ stories published in Christian Historical Romance. I went through a dry spell after losing a number of close loved ones. I prayed about what I should write next. I wanted to honor my mother's dying wish-- to tell anyone who would listen to not get the Whipple Procedure done. That inspired this story. Pancreatic Cancer is an evil thing. I wrote three different endings for this story while writing it! I pray you'll enjoy the one I got convicted to end it with for publication! Be blessed!
