The small town he left is now bigger than he remembers.
Gabe couldn’t wait to get out of tiny Main, Oregon. He had bigger dreams than could be realized in his hometown. When his parents need help on their farm, Gabe reluctantly returns home. While back, he plans to spend the weeks training for the 9/11 Memorial Stair Challenge. He didn’t expect to fall for his personal trainer.
Simone longs to escape the soft apron strings tying her to her parents. When presented with the opportunity to leave Main for a new personal training job, she is determined to finish training the ego-driven glory hog before giving notice.
An out-of-control wildfire pushes them together into a situation that will change their perspective about life, love, and the benefits of a community.
After a successful career in banking, Jane dipped her toes into writing after a life-changing event – the death of her 30-year-old son. Her book, Because of Grace, has given hope to many mothers who have experienced the same shattering grief.
She then chronicled her journey through caregiving. The Caregiving Season was born from the years spent caring for her elderly mother.
But imagining stories has always been her first love. Jane’s novels have won the Cascade Award from the (formerly Oregon Christian Writers) Cascade Christian Writers organization and in 2023 her novel, Broken, was a Carol Award semi-finalist.
In 2021, Jane and her husband sold their home and gave away most of their possessions to travel full-time in their Class A motorhome. When she isn’t gazing out the windshield and thinking about her next book, she can be found hunched over her computer, pounding out the next novel.
