  Elizabeth Fane is on the cusp of 50, but instead of celebrating with her family, she is on a plane to Italy alone, leaving behind her husband, three adult sons, and the profound rift between them.
  
  In Italy Liz plans to prune olive trees at a convent, explore the city of Florence, and visit its ancient cathedrals. There she meets four women—five if you count the large painting of the Virgin Mary—with whom she converses regularly. While at first these conversations with the painting are ironic (and are always one-sided), eventually they turn to become another way for Liz to consider the rift between her and her family. Liz gradually reveals why she left home and sorts out what it will take for her to return. Renaissance is a story about a woman of a certain age — a novel about the end of motherhood as Liz steps out of longstanding domestic roles to find her own place in the world.

  They cost her everything. Her marriage. Her family. Her happiness. Now, she lives a simple, isolated life in the mountains, far from the troubles of Cantheon. But trouble, it seems, has a way of finding her. 
  She never should have helped hide the man with mixed blood from the Order, especially when it puts her in the crosshairs of the vengeful town steward and rips apart the life she fought for in Viviers. 
  In a last-ditch effort to warn her newfound friends and untangle herself from their conflict, her life is derailed when she’s forced onto a ship with the one man she never dared to confront again. Rhodric. 
  The man she still yearns for. 
  The man she walked out on six years ago in the middle of the night. 
  In this action-packed tale, Mel is torn between her loyalties to Rayelle and Paladin (The Blessing Giver), the unexplainable forces sparking within her, and her desperation to stay far, far away from her former lover and the dark secret they share. 
  Return to the Passage Realm for this enthralling slow-burn, second-chance fantasy romance. The Blessing Giver series continues to deliver an irresistible blend of passion and adventure that will keep you turning pages long into the night.

  Johanna Shelby could never have anticipated where that "fateful encounter" would lead her.  She could not have known then how love for the young, rough-hewn, mountain doctor would cause her to turn her back on her privileged lifestyle, threaten to estrange her from her family, and bring her to the wild mountains of Appalachia.  If she had known . . . But no!  Nothing could hold her back.  Not her adoring, worried parents.  Not her snooty, so-called "friends."  Not even her own flashes of doubt and fear.  No, this love would not be denied.  It was part of a larger pattern -like the pattern of one of the family quilts her aunts and cousins met weekly to stitch.  Into those quilts went not just fabric, but meanings and memories; and when they were finished, the were more than just quilts- they were life stories.  Johanna did not know what the future held.  But she trusted God. . . And she knew that he would cause her own family quilt to be rich and beautiful -a pattern like no other.
