THE ART OF LOSING YOURSELF

For readers of Karen Kingsbury and Kristen Hannah comes a powerful contemporary novel of two sisters trying to find new life--one in her marriage and faith, a one desperate for a chance at a future.

From the outside looking in, Carmen Hart has it all--a handsome husband, a great job, a strong faith. But from the inside looking out, Carmen Hart struggles with doubt. She wonders if God is all that powerful. Sometimes she wonders if He exists at all. After several miscarriages and an empty marriage, she's not so sure anymore.Then her father decides to put the family motel up for sale and her seventeen-year old half sister Gracie shows up on her front porch, changing everything. Gracie Fisher is tired of everybody expecting the worst from her. She's tired of being a burden. So when her mother threatens to send her away, she hitchhikes out of town and ends up in a strange town, staying with a sister she barely knows. Is it possible for God to use a broken teenager and a rundown Florida panhandle motel to bring a woman's faith and marriage back to life? Can two half-sisters make each other whole? Katie Ganshert's debut novel, Wildflowers from Winter was nominated for the Christian fiction highest prize, The Christy Award, and she won the ACFW Award, The Carol, for Contemporary Novel. She lives in Iowa with her husband and son.
