Each Sunday “Inspired by Life…and Fiction” shares a Christian novelist’s newest book and the garden spots where they find inspiration.
Kansas author Kim Vogel Sawyer spent a season of her life running a lovely bed & breakfast with her husband, Don. They have relocated to a new home, and while they work on the garden at that home—where frequent visitors include three daughters and their families, including a growing brood of grandchildren—readers can enjoy photos from Kim’s garden at the former King’s Inn. Kim is the bestselling, award-winning author of historical and contemporary novels, many of them set in Kansas. Her books include The Sommerfeld Trilogy and her newest title, When Grace Sings.

It must have been lovely staying at the King’s Inn run by the King’s children. The garden sign really got me today as I long so much for a garden spot. Here in CA they are forcing everyone to let their grass die to save water. It is awful to watch and trees dying, too (not us, we are in an RV). But God is good and He will provide again a garden place for us for sure. Looking forward to a sweet office, like yours, too, Kim.
