How could I not return to the small town of Whispering Creek, Tennessee, when I had such a supportive character in Emma Uranova. Emma stood by Samantha (Sam) when Sam was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of twenty-three. Emma encouraged and spoke her bold truth to her lifelong friend in “Christmas at Whispering Creek.”
Now, it’s Emma’s turn to reach out to Samantha for help in “Escape to Whispering Creek.” When Emma’s job is gone in an instant, and chaos is raining down on her life, Emma turns to God, but also calls her dear friend Sam.
When I decided to write a sequel set in Whispering Creek, I created the theme of “Where is God when your life is falling apart?” God is right there with us, supporting us, and guiding the way through the comfort of His Holy Spirit. Emma and Sam make God a priority in their lives and boy do they need God’s support when Emma’s life goes sideways.
While Samantha clung to Philippians 4:4-7, you will find that Emma recites Psalm 18:2a…The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. Emma will need the Rock of Christ as she flees Wisconsin short of cash and hope.
I hope you enjoy your return trip to Whispering Creek.
