Jesus. Books. Family. Why not combine the three?
Hi! I’m Jessie, and I craft twentieth-century inspirational fiction inspired by family history, where I hope to breathe new life into unique bits of America’s past.
A few quick things about me: I’m a homeschool mom of three (in my thirteenth year!) and live in Indiana with my amazing husband and three teenagers. Road trips, laughter, and space heaters are some of my favorite things, and any day I don’t have to put on shoes is a good day. To get to know more about me and my journey, hop on over to my “about” page!
MY BOOKS
I’m thrilled to announce that my historical romance novel, A MESS OF DREAMS, is now available!
In each novel of my Middlefork Series, you’ll find character-centered home front stories spanning the 1940s-1970s, each filled with family, friends, romance, and adventure — and always wrapped in God’s power and grace.
Find out more about A MESS OF DREAMS, the first book of my series, as well as my other books, on my “books” page.
