About Eloise Schroder, Webmaster of The Christian Fiction Site:
Ellie has loved Christian fiction for many years, after being introduced to it back in 1990. She developed "The Christian
Fiction Site" back in 1998 under the former title "Ellie's World of Christian Fiction" after seeing the need for an online
resource site for readers to become more familiar with Christian fiction titles on the market. Since then, she has maintained
the site in her own spare time, as well as juggling a full-time job with GPH Wholesale, a distributor of Christian literature, and being
part of the worship team in her local church. Ellie lives in Palmerston North, New Zealand, with Dion, her husband of
more than 10 years.
. . .Lake
Emily
. . .
By Traci DePree
Celebrate the wonder of everyday life--the neighbor who lives down the road, the old man in the diner, the woman
under the hair dryer at the beauty shop. Everyone has a story and just like in Lake Emily, the reader will see God’s creation and inspiration
in the people in their own community.
A story of the hope of beginning, the connection to what came before, and kindness in times of deepest need. The Lake Emily series is set in the
quaint fictional small town of Lake Emily, Minnesota, where a neighbor is more than someone who lives down the road and where kindness is an
everyday occurrence.
#1: A Can Of Peas (2002)
WaterBrook Press
Welcome to Lake Emily, Minnesota---where neighbors are more than just people who live down the road. When newlyweds Peter and Mae Morgan leave St. Paul to try and save his grandparents' farm, they have no idea how hard the "simple" life can be. Will the strain of living out a dream tear their marriage apart? Or will they be saved by a miracle of kindness?
#2: Dandelions In A Jelly Jar (2004)
WaterBrook Press
Things will never be the same in peaceful Lake Emily, Minnesota. School-board cutbacks prompt flamboyant art teacher Trudy Ploog to wage war on the foundation of small-town life---high school sports! Meanwhile, Peter and Mae Morgan grieve a loss . . . and learn to see with the eyes of grace.
#3: Aprons On The Clothesline (2005)
WaterBrook Press
Virginia Morgan is used to helping others--it's who she is. A wife; a mother; a grandmother; a friend. But when Virginia suffers a debilitating stroke, she can no longer wear that apron. It is a change that sends her into the depths of hopelessness. Can she find her way to seeing that life is still worth living? Or will she give up hope and sink deeper into despair?
