Hidden Baggage

Contemporary Fiction

Rae Freesinga has everything together. Just ask her. She doesn’t need Verllie-Jean butting her know-it-all nose into her perfect life.

She married her prom king, Ross. They’re hometown sweethearts who’ve made a great life building their dream home with their cute little boy and girl. What could possibly go wrong?

Verllie-Jean knows exactly what can go wrong… and what Rae refuses to admit. But she holds steady for that stubborn girl as she promised her dear mama she would. Even if she’s about to bite her tongue off from keeping it still so often.

The cute perfectly designed closet hiding her hidden baggage will be blown to bits and Rae will be forced to face her true reality—at the cost of those she loves.

Coming Soon!

DEBUT AUTHOR

Well, hey! You made it this far down the page. Clearly you know who I am and what I do, but you might not know *who* I am. Here’s a few tidbits:

– There are 63 of my former second grade students wandering this earth–some of whom graciously stay in touch.

– I used to read Motor Trend so I could understand why my engineer hubby was annoyed with BMW’s tail light design.

– Motherhood used to be an arena where perfection killed me. Now I’m learning: “There’s grace for that too.”

Yes, I really do believe that “Everything is theological—even snarky stories”. Story is powerful. As well as what you believe. Combining the two? Life-changing!

I’ve been published in The Banner, the Reformed Journal Blog, and anthologies. I’m a member of ACFW, as well as a board member of the Great Lakes Chapter.
