With the Christmas season upon us, one theme that remains strong in the CF genre is family. While frontier family tales have given way to contemporary stories about modern families dealing with complex issues, the idea of keeping the family unit strong is as important to inspirational storytelling as ever. Whether celebrating generations of a family in rugged 1830s Texas (Al and Joanna Lacy's A Line in the Sand), rebuilding a family during the holidays after the loss of a mother (Leisha Kelly's Till Morning Is Nigh), returning to a childhood home full of painful memories (Denise Hunter's Surrender Bay), sticking together even when a brother is accused of being a criminal (Libby Sternberg's The Case Against My Brother), or coping with being newlyweds and new parents while living in a foreign country (Susan May Warren'srnold secret sorrows, but she needs the money for herself and her daughter, Caden. So she faces her memories and lost love, Landon Reed, who still lives two doors from her old childhood home. Intended as an allegory of God's love for us, Hunter's series launch is a romantic adventure about unconditional love and forgiveness. Recommended for inspirational romance collections. Hunter is a resident of Indiana.
