A glimpse into my latest book. . .
Many of you are probably, like me, HGTV fans, who watch the many shows about fixing up old houses. You find yourself glued to the glimpses of contractors and owners engaged in the process. You live vicariously through the rehabbing, renovating, and restoring.
I can relate. The idea of renovation is in my family's blood. I'm an interior design professional. My brothers are rehabbers. My husband, Jim, and I have survived the renovation of three houses.
So writing a novel set in the world of the restoration of old buildings has always been a dream of mine. I love the metaphor of restoration, which is why I came up with the idea for the Project Restoration Series—stories that would follow both the physical restoration of a building and the emotional/spiritual restoration of a character. Ethan Willis, his son Chase, and Cameron Dane. who you will meet in my new book, The Renovation, are just the beginning. Perhaps in one of the three books in the series, you'll find a character who mirrors your own life and points you toward the kind of restoration you long for.
After all, God is in the business of restoring lives—reclaiming what was broken and bringing beauty from ashes. The light of His love shines on all those dark places deep within us, exposing what needs his healing touch. This is the type of restoration I've become passionate about, too.
So join me on a compelling journey to love and forgiveness in my latest book!
