The first print copies arrived today!!!!

One of the biggest joys for a writer is opening a box of the advance copies of her new book. (Sorry, if my enthusiasm frightened you, nice UPS guy!) It's a this-is-finally-real moment wrapped in birthday-ish glee and served with a side of accomplishment.  

Uncharted Hope will be available for everyone else September 12th, but for me, today is release day. This was a crayz-fun-hard story to write, and I'm overjoyed to hold the first copies in my hand.

In case you missed my last post, here is a little about the story:

Sophia Ashton’s new medical assistant job comes with the perks of living on the Colburn property, which include being surrounded by a loving family—something she’s never known. During the job’s trial period, a patient puts Sophia in a questionable position. Now she must prove her competence or lose her job and home.

Nicholas Vestal is working on a sheep farm to earn a starter flock, but before his contract is up, he inherits a house in the village. While fixing up the old house, he pursues Sophia Ashton, believing she is the woman God wants him to marry. But when Sophia’s difficult past blocks Nicholas’s plan, he must find a way to her heart.

Meanwhile, outside the Land...
When plant biologist Bailey Colburn is offered a research job, she knows Justin Mercer is playing her somehow. Working for the former naval flight officer sounds better than her other options in post-war Norfolk, even though Justin says he once met her long lost relatives. But when Justin introduces Bailey to the mysterious gray leaf tree, his unbelievable claims change her world.
