He needed the emotional security that comes with knowing where he belonged. Now he was coming home to try and bury the soldier he’d been. Only a couple of months later, an IED on one patrol too many earned him a long stint in the hospital and brought his time with the army to an end. He’d come back briefly over a year ago to bury his father, and the calm and peace of the place had stayed with him long after he’d returned to his unit. He needed a place to heal and Blessings, Georgia, the place where he grew up, was calling him. He was on the way home, marking the passing of every mile with a war-weary soul.
Thomas Wolfe once wrote, “You can never go home again.” Jacob Lorde never took the word of a stranger. Pick up one of my stories and take a visit to Blessings with me.
It’s a story of the times, and yet timeless in its simplicity. It’s a story that gets to the heart of what matters in life: redemption, forgiveness, and trust. Saving Jake is the next story, the one you’re holding in your hands. It’s a story about how people starting life off on the wrong foot can still find a way to live happy ever after. I’ll Stand By You was the second full-length novel. It’s a story about the faithfulness of friends and family and what it means to be Southern to the core, as well as being a sweet love story to enjoy. You and Only You was the first full-length novel set in Blessings. “Count Your Blessings” was the novella introducing my readers to the Georgia landscape. I grew up in a place like that-a place everyone should live in at least once in their lives, but since that’s not possible, I’m offering the next best thing: stories about that way of life-touching stories, funny stories, stories that will break your heart on one page and heal it on the next. No, there aren’t any secrets kept here, and yes, everybody knows your business, but when bad things happen, good people come to your rescue. I welcome you to Blessings, Georgia, the best small town in the South. Published by Sourcebooks Casablanca, an imprint of Sourcebooks, Inc.
