Autumn’s Grace by Julie Arduini
Yes, it’s me with a new release! I’m excited to announce that Autumn’s Grace, a Contemporary Christian Romance, is available for pre-order.
This is the 11th book in the Dogwood Creek Matchmakers series featuring me, Leah Atwood, Robin Bayne, JoAnn Durgin, Dawn Kinzer, Lisa Prysock, and Lori Soard. You can read the series, or as standalones.
The series is a small-town Christian romance set in fictional Dogwood Creek, Tennessee. It’s about an hour away from Gatlinburg. Each novella features a Matchmaker. In Autumn’s Grace, we return to Alicia Caruso, the Matchmaker from my November release, Clean Sweep.
Here’s more about Autumn’s Grace:
A teacher without a classroom.
A tech producer without a stage.
A story about finding purpose again.
Autumn Grace Whitaker never imagined seizures would end her teaching career. Returning to Dogwood Creek with her service dog, Bo, she hopes to catch her breath and recover from the transition. But when she’s invited to help shape a new disability ministry, she’s torn between fear and the longing to matter again.
Caleb Hicks can’t shake the guilt of missing family moments while traveling for work. His years touring with a country duo has always been his refuge, but now that he’s home, he’s wrestling with wounds he’s never named—until reconnecting with Autumn brings them to the surface.
Their lives keep intersecting in unexpected ways: quiet moments, awkward apologies, shared vulnerability. With a little help from the Dogwood Creek Matchmakers, Autumn learns a life restart can be a blessing, Caleb realizes what home means, and something tender begins to grow between them.
