Joan Deppa: Seasons of Love
Seasons of Love
Looking for a gift for the woman on your Christmas list that loves to read, loves nature, traveling and a fun-read romance novel? Or you may want to purchase it for yourself. Check out the Seasons of Love Series:
The Western Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan is rich in culture, beautiful scenery and known as the “Big Snow Country.” There are many groomed snowmobile and cross-country ski trails, ski resorts for downhill skiing and snowboarding for fun, winter recreation. It is bordered to the north by the magnificent Lake Superior, which allows for boating, fishing, sea kayaking and summer picnics. There is also an abundance of waterfalls, inland lakes, hiking trails, biking, camping and the natural beauty of the rolling hills, especially Porcupine Mountain, the state’s largest park and highest elevation. This is the setting for the series, “Seasons of Love,” where people appreciate and enjoy God’s creation, learn about God’s love and forgiveness, release their fears and follow their dreams, and understand that “God’s will” is not always the same as “my will.”
About the Author:
My name is Joan Deppa. My husband and I have been in church ministry for over 30 years and have counseled many hurting people. I have always loved to read and now write inspirational fiction; sharing God’s love, forgiveness, wisdom and ability to change lives yielded to Him in a way that people can relate to. My hope is that my readers will find true joy, guidance and forgiveness in Christ from their past and present challenges in life. We have four adult children, eleven grandchildren and have lived mostly in the Midwest. We enjoy seeing all the beauty of God’s creation wherever we are. I am a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers.
Whiter than Snow, Book #1
Bonnie Turner has recently moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and is enamored by its beauty in the winter time. While enjoying the beauty, Brad Jorgenson “bumps” into her and takes it upon himself to show her the sights and how to enjoy winter in the Upper Peninsula. But will Bonnie be able to show Brad how to release the anger and bitterness he’s carried since childhood and introduce him to the Creator of the beauty he enjoys? Can God’s love and forgiveness really make him, “whiter than snow?” Ps. 51:7
Reviews by my Readers:
- “Whiter than Snow was written with enough detail to enable me to feel like I was right there with the characters in their emotions and their surroundings in the UP. Brad and Bonnie had to deal with real life struggles that could make or break their relationships. It is a gentle, pleasant read that shows you can overcome your past hurts and build a healthy relationship.”
- Sweet, graceful and engaging, I found Whiter than Snow, by author Joan Deppa, to be an inspirational read with a gorgeous book cover.”
- “Perfect for any snowy day with a cup of warm cocoa! Highly recommend!!”
SUMMER DREAMS, Book #2
April Phillips is a 6th grade teacher who loves children, but feels she should never marry due to the history of divorce in her family. So instead, she pursues her dream to learn to Kayak and buys an older house that she can make into the home of her dreams. However, Aaron Matthews has his own dreams – to marry April and have a family of their own. But first he needs to help her realize that God is able to break her chains of fear and give her a love that paddles through the storms and difficulties of life and thrives. Whose dreams will be realized? Can they both win?
