SO ….. I wrote another book!

God is so good.

I am reminded every day just how good he is – how faithful, how merciful, how patient … I guess I’m reminded daily just how GODLY God truly is.

This becomes personal to me in that he continues to bless me with stories that unravel in my mind over time. These stories are about people that I relate to and some of the life struggles that I see people deal with every day. The most rewarding part of the writing process is sewing together characters and their stories into an larger work that illustrates how God is present through life’s trials, no matter what they are and how insurmountable those trials may seem.

This latest book is a story like that. I am excited to announce that it’s currently at the printer so it’s almost ready to share with you! For now, though, read the back of the book summary below and stay tuned for more info! Thank you and God Bless!

THOSE WE LOVE and What They Hide By J. Marie (November 2020)

If you bury secrets deep enough, like at the bottom of a river blanketed in ice and snow, will those secrets stay hidden forever? Or will the forces of nature propel those secrets to the surface and out into the light of day where they can shatter the peace of the innocent loved ones living above?

The disappearance of his ex-wife Natalie and the crimes she committed prior to her disappearance, wrought devastation on Drake Connor’s life. Finding himself the prime suspect in her disappearance, Drake survived years of suspicion which destroyed many of his family and work relationships, shook his confidence to the core and altered his faith.

Four years later, just as his life is returning to normal, Drake’s life is upended again when Natalie is finally located. But, finding Natalie does not provide any long-awaited answers; instead, her body, recovered from her car in a remote river in northern Minnesota, generates even more questions. And these questions lead Drake down a path of discovery that threatens everything he once believed about his marriage and the woman he loved.

THOSE WE LOVE and What They Hide is a story that reveals the secrets people keep – even from those that love them. But alongside painful discoveries of deceit, it is also a story of resiliency and a celebration of the kind of love that inspires, even amidst the shadows.
