Author of 35 books, wife, mother and yes…hot (flasher) lives with her
fabulous husband, Matt and their 5 children and 3 dogs in the scenic
Willamette Valley in Oregon. When asked to describe her family, Carolyn
likens her crowd to the
Brangelia Bunch saying modestly, “Only we’re better looking.” Right
now,Carolyn is back in the saddle with her new title: Beyond The Storm,
coming out in October 2012! In the mean time, be sure to catch her on
the critically acclaimed TOOHOTMAMAS Blog where Carolyn and Wendy tackle
Marriage, motherhood and menopause: How to do all three and stay out of
prison! They are hilarious! You'll wet yourself, guaranteed! Visit
them at: www.toohotmamas.wordpress.com.

After a tornado rips through her town, store owner Abigail comes across a
piece of fabric from a wedding dress among the devastation. Abigail is
moved to start collecting other swatches of fabric she finds – her
neighbor’s kitchen curtains, a man’s necktie, a dog’s bed – which she
stashes in shopping bags. As she pursues her seemingly absurd quest,
horrible realities spark the question, “What kind of a God would allow
such tragedy?”
As she struggles to reconcile her right to happiness amidst the destruction, Abigail begins piecing together a patchwork quilt from the salvaged fabric in hopes it will bring some peace. But a new relationship with Justin, a contractor, may require too much of her fragile heart. Will her pain and questions of faith give way to the courage to love?

My Thoughts on the Book:
Beyond the Storm was an amazing story! Ms Zane does a wonderful job of developing her characters in quick fashion; you immediately are drawn into their lives. I was pleasantly surprised with the way Zane incorporated rich truths about God and His character into her story. Not many Christian fiction writers are able to pull this off quite as well as this writer has. Beyond the Storm is an exceptional picture of the way our God is able to bring beauty out of the ashes. You'll be blessed by reading this book!
Happy Reading,
Jennifer
