We can never overcome the consequences of our mistakes … or can we? 
 
After almost three years, cop-turned-naturalist Clint Nolan is beginning to think of Starfish Bay in Northern California as home. The tiny town is a world away from the tragedy he left behind in the East, and his demons and self-recriminations are  
subsiding. He might even consider a new romantic relationship if the right woman comes along. 
 
But Kristen Fletcher isn’t that woman. New to town, the concierge at the upscale Inn at The Point reminds him too much of his former love. He can tolerate her as a tenant, but he intends to walk a wide circle around her personally. 
 
Yet his plans change when Kristen’s world suddenly spins out of control and Clint finds himself being pulled into her life—and wondering if she might be the woman who was intended for him all along. 
 
In this HOLT Medallion winner, Irene Hannon pens a hope-filled, uplifting tale about second chances, new beginnings—and the power of love to heal hurting hearts.

Setting the Story Straight for the Mary Whom the Church Has Misunderstood 
 
Mary Magdalene's life was transformed when she was healed by Christ and joined his ministry from Galilee to Jerusalem. The Gospels teach that she was also a witness at the cross and the first one sent by Christ to preach his resurrection. Yet her story is often confused, scandalized, and undervalued by the church.  
 
In The Mary We Forgot, award-winning church historian and theologian Jennifer Powell McNutt unpacks Scripture and history to reveal the real Mary Magdalene: the first apostle of the good news and a model of discipleship for both men and women today. 
 
Christians will learn from the disciple known as the "apostle to the apostles" how to embrace Jesus's calling to "go and tell" with faith and courage. They'll also be encouraged by the reminder that God calls ordinary, imperfect, and unexpected people to share the good news of Jesus Christ.

Mary and the Interior Life

Jeremiah Myriam Shryock

Did you know that the whole world needs your "yes" to God? 
In this book, Fr. Jeremiah Shryock shares how he learned this humbling truth from his personal relationship with Mary, and how we too can learn from her how to follow Christ with all our hearts.  
"Fr. Jeremiah Shryock, CFR has written a truly beautiful book. Frankly, it is a must-read for everyone aspiring to enter more deeply into the life of holiness and Mary's role in leading souls to a total self-offering and surrender to God. Inspired passages and uniquely contemplative insights fill the pages of this book as Fr. Jeremiah ponders the mysteries of the Rosary and Mary's presence in the gospel accounts with a great heart of love. Fr. Jeremiah calls himself now a Marian hermit taught by Mary; clearly, he has been a very fine student and son in placing himself receptively before the profound instructions of his Virgin Mother." —Fr. Donald Haggerty, author of St. John of the Cross, Master of Contemplation, The Contemplative Hunger, Contemplative Provocations
