One Starry Christmas

By Mary A. Felkins

Description:

A pastor with a past.
A determined jeweler.
A secret that won’t be silenced.

Former bad boy drummer Pastor Michael Chandler has faithfully served his church in Wild Rose Ridge while keeping crucial parts of his past a secret. People couldn’t know everything, or they’d declare him unfit for ministry. But when he encounters the woman he abandoned years ago, his day of reckoning whisks in like a blizzard.

Custom jewelry designer Leilah Grant sets a dream opportunity aside to manage her parents’ jewelry shop during the frenzied Christmas season. She’ll do anything to restore favor in their eyes. But when her world collides with Michael—her ex-turned-beloved-town-preacher—the past threatens to destroy her future. Complicating the predicament, the town's meddling mothers conspire to create another heavenly match.

A confession from the pulpit will free Michael’s heart, but it will cost him his job—and the only woman he’s ever loved.

It’s the season of miracles. Will Michael and Leilah stubbornly resist each other, or will they give their love a second chance?

Book Takeaway:

If we're willing to have the courage to be authentic about our past, our stories can heal those who believe their sins are beyond forgiveness.

Why the author wrote this book:

To showcase that nothing is beyond forgiveness.
