"Fans of Francine Rivers should take a look!" — Publishers Weekly

A disgraced spouse. A devastated daughter. A troubled recluse. Can steadfast faith right a string of wrongs? 

When their local church closes, seven senior women decide to start a new one. Pooling their funds, they buy a building that's crumbling around them. Then, despite large hurdles and loud critics, the ladies work to create the church they've always wanted to attend.   

Imploding marriages. 

Hurtful pranks. 

Heartbroken families. 

The ladies don't realize it when they begin, but Carver Harbor needs them to be beacons of hope. And with God's help, come what may, they are up for the challenge.

Fans of Jan Karon's Mitford Series are sure to love the heartwarming intergenerational tales found in the New Beginnings Series! 

(This standalone novel is the first book in the completed New Beginnings Christian Fiction Series.)

    This book was wonderful, a refreshing treat which kept me hooked from beginning to end. This totally proves a book can be written, and interesting, without the use of foul language and sex descriptions.

    Even though the description was clear on the topics presented, it was a pleasant surprise to read how each one unfolded. This is very well written and easy to feel the characters’ emotions.
  • Interesting title (and intriguing subsequent titles)

    While somewhat predictable, it didn’t disappoint and kept my interest to the end. Good lessons I needed to hear.

    I really enjoyed this book. My father is exactly like the father portrayed, I cried for Emma, but there’s healing too. God has done great things in my life, even in the messy parts.

    Almost set this one aside as the author pulled together the background I struggled with the bouncing back and forth between all the characters. Then wham…. I connected to Emma and I couldn’t put the book down. Best of all, this story is full of strong women.
  • Amazing book!
