Faith House

Overview

When Hurricane Sandy destroys Sadie's home, she's determined to restore it. She promised her dying grandmother she'd never abandon the house that is the only link to Sadie's schizophrenic father—a man who disappeared twenty years ago. Max has loved Sadie since grade school, but their mutual friend died when they were teens. A decade has passed, and he's finally found her. This time, he won't lose her—not to a flooded house hundreds of miles from home, or to her false hope as she awaits her father's unlikely return. When Sadie discovers her house is underinsured, she faces an impossible decision. Can she trust God enough to let go of her only connection to her dad? Can she trust Max enough to let go of her heart?

Author Biography

If time and money were no object, Robin Patchen would travel more often than she stayed home. Her goal is to visit every place in the entire world—twice. Because, as you know, the first time, you don't know exactly what you want to see. So you flit from one tourist attraction to another and enjoy every minute of it. But it's always on the last day that you find the best thing, and you don't have enough time to explore it properly, and you wished you'd discovered it first (but even if you had, you wouldn't know it was the best thing, because you hadn't seen everything else yet). So you have to go back a second time. It's just logical. Alas, time is short and money is scarce, and Robin's family doesn't want to follow her all around the world, so she does the next best thing: she writes. In the worlds Robin creates, she can go back to the best places time and again. And when they're not perfect, that's all right—she just edits until they are. Robin is the author of two novels and the owner of Robin's Red Pen editing services. She also teaches writing classes to home school students. Robin's passion is to equip Christian writers to share stories that will inspire and encourage the family of God in their walks with Christ. Robin is married to her story's hero, Edward, and together they have three children, Nicholas, Lexi, and Jacob. Her family is a close second on her list of priorities after her relationship with Jesus. So that's her life: God, husband, children, and made-up worlds where she has complete control.
