What is A Hopeful Heart about?

In the midst of her picture-perfect marriage, Lilly's world shatters when her husband abandons her for another woman. Now, with her baby Catherine, she retreats to the comforting embrace of her hometown, Heart Lake. There, Matthew, a childhood friend turned compassionate pediatric nurse, steps in, stirring unexpected emotions.

Matthew prays for guidance as he navigates these new feelings, while Lilly's protective sisters watch with wary eyes. When a health scare threatens Catherine, Lilly leans on Matthew, only for her estranged husband to reappear, begging for forgiveness.

Caught in a whirlwind of faith, love, and second chances, Lilly faces a tough decision. Will she forgive her husband or open her heart to the possibility of new love with Matthew? Unravel Lilly's poignant journey of heartbreak and healing in the heart of Heart Lake.

Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult and Joshilyn Jackson.

Love, loyalty, lies . . twin sisterhood has a heartbreaking price.

When Victoria returns to her childhood home for her twin sister's wedding after decades of a strained relationship with her family, she recalls the devastating trauma of the high school romance that tore her family apart.

As a pretty, popular high school sophomore, Victoria discards boys as easily as she finds them, unlike her bookish and brilliant twin.

When the senior football captain with a reputation of his own develops an interest in her sister, Victoria becomes wary. She'll do anything to protect her twin, no matter what the cost.

Told as a flashback years later as Victoria wrestles with disastrous adult relationships and her sister's impending marriage, secrets kept for decades bait an emotional minefield. Will painful memories destroy their chance to reunite, or is it too late?

Written by two sisters, incorporating real adolescent memories with fictional details, American Girls looks at the best and worst of growing up girls in the 1980s Midwest and the devastating power secrets can wield over the closest of relationships.

Our sweet small town romance series, Cherish Creek, is now available on Radish! Nearly 100 episodes are queued up (three releases a week) to keep you reading through the end of the year!

(I write this clean/sweet romance with my youngest daughter under the name Alessa Martel - books one through four are available now wherever you buy your e-books and paperbacks)

Have you read That Night? Do you wonder what happened to Kayla's little sister, Mia? Readers requested a sequel focusing on her, and I still get emails/messages about Mia's struggle with grief, depression, and eating disorders.

If you loved That Night, don't miss Love Always, Mia.

I can't believe it's been over two years since American Girls released - I've been thinking about the story lately, about the process through which my sister and I wrote it together, and how the audiobook narrator, Sharmila Devar, brought this tale to life so meaningfully.

If you're looking for women's fiction about sisterhood and enjoy Joshilyn Jackson and Jodi Picoult, please have a look at American Girls. Some of it is based in truth - our true story - and the rest is fiction.

We'll let you decide which is which.

So excited to relaunch our former Valley Vale series as Cherish Creek. New titles, new covers, and two more books to come in this five book, sweet small town romance series.

My youngest daughter and I love writing these together, and are at work on another series to follow later this year. These are all in Kindle Unlimited.

Many thanks to Melissa Williams Design for these gorgeous covers and the super quick turnaround to get the series back out to readers.
