Author: Cindy Patterson
Publisher: Springbrook Press, LLC
Release Date: March 11, 2024
Genre: Historical Romance, Christian, Clean & Wholesome
In 1902, Abigail Dupree is but a breath away from her grand societal failure. To save her family from humiliation and financial ruin, Abigail becomes a bargaining trade in her mother’s eyes. A bargain that will extinguish Abigail’s last hope of a happily-ever-after. If only she could return to the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, she might have a chance to reunite with the only man who has the power to save her reputation.
Garrett Barringer arrives in Charlotte, North Carolina to escape a past that no longer wants him. He takes an undisclosed position with Mr. Dupree. When it is revealed that part of Mr. Dupree’s purpose for bringing him on board is to chaperone his beloved daughter, Garrett abruptly discovers that he has taken on more than he bargained for. Abigail Dupree is more beguiling than any other woman he’s encountered, but he must resist his heart for the sake of propriety and to keep a promise made to her father.
When her father hires Garrett Barringer, a man that seems far too young to be a lawyer, and possesses far too many favorable characteristics, Abigail resists his charm but cannot deny her heart is compelling her toward him. But she will not allow the man to ruin an opportunity she has waited for nearly five years.
Garrett is suddenly aware what his life was and what it could become in the presence of Abigail Dupree. Will he be able to give up the woman who has stolen his heart, for her happiness?
Abigail stands to lose all if Garrett Barringer sees past her physical beauty and uncovers the ugliness of her imperfect past. Will Abigail continue on the condemned path she’s fashioned for herself, or trust that God wants a future for her she never believed possible?

About the Book
Shop Class as Soulcraft meets A Place of My Own in this lyrical meditation of a woodworker steadfastly repairing a historic home.
Old houses share their secrets only if they survive. Trading the corporate ladder for a stepladder, Lee McColgan commits to preserving the ramshackle Loring House, built in 1702, using period materials and methods and on a holiday deadline. But his enchantment withers as he discovers the massive repairs it needs. A small kitchen fix reveals that the structure’s rotten frame could collapse at any moment. In a bathroom, mold appears and spreads. He fights deteriorating bricks, frozen pipes, shattered windows, a punctured foundation, and even an airborne chimney cap while learning from a diverse cast of preservationists, including a master mason named Irons, a stone whisperer, and the Window Witch. But can he meet his deadline before family and friends arrive, or will it all come crashing down? McColgan’s journey expertly examines our relationship to history through the homes we inhabit, beautifully articulating the philosophy of preserving the past to find purpose for the future.

Excerpt
One of the counselors Children’s Aid had sent her to had given Jae a number of strategies
to deal with her intense fear of fire. One of those strategies was grounding herself in her
situation, looking for three things in the room that were real to help drive out the terror of what
wasn’t.
So, what was real in this room she had a vague memory of waking up in before? Rolling
her head against the soft, pillowed headboard, she noted an unlit candle and an old-fashioned
clock on two spindly metal legs on the table next to the bed. Neither were hers, but she reached
out and ran a finger over both. The intense fear gripping her eased a little at the cool, hard
substance of the objects.
Beyond the table, an armchair sat in the corner. Empty. The chair was real. Was her
recollection that a woman had been sitting there the first time Jae woke up? If so, what had she
said when Jae asked her where she was? She clawed through the thick haze swirling through her
head. Nothing. At least, she hadn’t answered Jae’s question, only left the room to get her a drink
of water. Jae stared at the back of the door where the woman had disappeared. Had that actually
been water? She’d fallen asleep right after drinking it, so maybe not.

Excerpt
March 1937
Ruby
Spring in Certain, Ky was like stepping through a thin spot between this world and another one.
Maybe spring was like that everywhere, but I wouldn’t know having not been anywhere else.
Here it was like one season overlaid on the next and if you looked you could almost see them
rippling on top of each other. Some people might have thought they saw the product of the wind,
but I knew better. I was good at seeing the blending of what was and what could be.
Bare tree limbs and muddy ground were overlaid with patches of too green grass and outlandish
yellow daffodils that always seemed like they’d popped up too soon. Or like some child from the
future had dropped them as she ran home. Pear trees bloomed billowy white like snowballs made
of flowers and the pink blossoms of the Redbud tree burst open, too excited to wait for the rest of
spring.
That was me. I was a redbud blossom, a billowy white pear petal, a yellow daffodil finding
myself out of step with the rest of the world around me. Growing up an orphan will do that to
you.
My gramma had told me about the thin places between this world and heaven. She believed
Certain was one. Heck, she believed that the living room was one. Anywhere you wanted to see
Heaven was a thin spot according to her.
