Anna Mae Shetler is a tomboy who loves nothing more than exploring the woods with her two best friends, Amos and Jeremiah. During a game of hide and seek they stumble upon a mystery that will threaten to tear apart their friendship, and-as they soon discover-it's a mystery that caused a rift in their families decades earlier. 

In other book news, the first book of the Middlefield Family series, Treasuring Emma, releases soon. I'm SO excited about this book and the series--and thrilled that early reviews have been positive: four stars from Romantic Times and a great review in Library Journal. Treasuring Emma releases in August, but is also available for pre-order. I'll have a few give aways in the future, as soon as next week. Here's more on Treasuring Emma, from a note I wrote for AuthorBuzz: 

Treasuring Emma is a book that is dear to my heart. It was difficult to write, and it took me a long time to figure out what the story wanted to convey. Treasuring Emma is a romance, yet its more than that. Its about family relationships, coming to terms with past disappointments and finding freedom and peace, and realizing that not everything (and everyone) is what it seems. As with many of my novels, forgiveness is a strong theme, one that is universal. Forgiveness is a process. We're called to forgive others, but often times its not easy nor is it quickly done. I hope readers will identify with the characters and their stories and find themselves uplifted and entertained as they step into the world of Middlefield, OH. 

There are a lot of exciting things planned for the launch of Treasuring Emma--but more on that next week.  

'Til next time,

Kathleen
