The Color of Home releases September 24, 2024 from Revell Fiction!
“A delightful debut that I devoured from beginning to end.”
-Melody Carlson, bestselling and award-winning author
Audrey Needham, Bay Area interior designer to the rich and pretentious, is down to her last nerve. Her boss is impossible to please, her future is in jeopardy, and her great-aunt Daisy needs support as her husband descends into Alzheimer’s.
When Daisy enlists Audrey’s help preparing for a move to assisted living, Audrey risks her career to return to the idyllic small town of Charity Falls, Oregon, the summer stomping grounds of her childhood. But Charity Falls was also the place that broke her heart when her father was killed in a tragic fire at the Sugar Pine Inn thirteen years ago.
Despite Audrey’s intent to avoid emotional entanglement, the pull of home is hard to resist. Something should be done about the deteriorating inn. A local girl with an incarcerated father needs a friend. And handsome local do-gooder Cade Carter is coloring Audrey all shades of uncertain.

Kit’s poignant essay celebrating motherhood is included in this collection, now a WSJ, Amazon, Publishers Weekly, and ECPA bestseller!
When God made a mother, He had you in mind.
No two mothers are alike. No two experiences in motherhood mirror each other. But something powerful happens when our stories of motherhood come together–they speak love, worth, value, and beauty. They take the undefinable experience of motherhood and give it shape and substance and strength. They speak to us all.
Now, the popular website Her View From Home has woven together a powerful, emotional collection of essays from women of all ages and stages. These real-life, straight-to-the-heart stories will make you laugh, cry, and nod along.
So God Made a Mother promises to show you the incomparable heart of a mother . . . a mother just like you.
And COMING APRIL 2024!
How much do you really know about your mother?
You know her favorite color. You know how she takes her coffee. You know she’d do anything for you. But do you know her story? What did she worry about as she rocked a baby in the middle of the night? What is she proudest of? How does she hope to be remembered? What is her legacy?
So God Made a Mother’s Story is an inspirational guided journal that invites a woman to share her heart–in her own handwriting–with generations to come.
From the creators of the bestselling book So God Made a Mother, this companion keepsake is filled with thoughtful questions, writing prompts, and space for a mother or mother figure to write about life before and beyond motherhood. Heartwarming quotes from a chorus of mothers are scattered throughout. Here she can share about her history, her hopes and dreams and fears—in a language of love that too often goes unspoken.
With this keepsake journal, you’ll discover answers to questions you may have never thought about, like:
- What is your earliest memory?
- Who were your best friends growing up and what were they like?
- How did you feel when you found out you were going to be a mother?
- What was your most frequent prayer?
- What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you or said to you?
The perfect gift for any mother, So God Made a Mother’s Story is an invitation to go deeper into a mother’s unique story and create a keepsake those who love her will cherish forever.
