Each Sunday “Inspired by Life…and Fiction” shares a Christian novelist’s newest book and the garden spots where they find inspiration.
Roxanne Henke is the author of the beloved Coming Home to Brewster series that began with After Anne. Roxy gardens in a small town in North Dakota where the “national holiday” is Sauerkraut Day, and summers are short, but sweet, and often spent at their lake home in Minnesota. Roxy and husband, Lorren, have two daughters and two small grandchildren. Her newest novel is On a Someday, a story about the joys and challenges of the empty nest, and follows The Secret of Us and Learning to Fly. Find Roxy’s books HERE.

DEBORAH RANEY's first novel, A Vow to Cherish, inspired the World Wide Pictures film of the same title and launched Deb’s writing career. Forty books later, she's still creating stories that touch hearts and lives. Her novels have won RWA's RITA Award, the ACFW Carol Award, the National Readers Choice Award, and the HOLT Medallion. She is also a three-time Christy Award finalist. Deb is on faculty for several national writers’ conferences and served on the executive board of the 2,500-member American Christian Fiction Writers organization for 18 years before retiring in 2022. She is a recent transplant to Missouri, having moved with her husband, Ken Raney, from their native Kansas to be closer to kids and grandkids. They love road trips, e-biking, Friday garage sale dates, and breakfast on the screened porch overlooking their wooded backyard.

Wow, it is so great to catch up with Roxie!! I have read…..no devoured…all her books and loved them! I made sure they were all in our church library! I wish she would write more books….or I may just have to re-read her! Beautiful pictures!
My favorite Roxanne Henke book is Finding Ruthie. I have reread that book several times over the years.
