Each Sunday “Inspired by Life…and Fiction” shares a Christian novelist’s newest book and the garden spots where they find inspiration.
Ginny Yttrup dreamt of becoming a writer most of her adult life and pursued her dream by learning the craft and honing her skills. When she’s not working, she loves spending time with her two college-age sons or with friends. If she can spend time outdoors with those she loves, all the better. Ginny adores her dog, Bear, and claims he’s a book lover too. Ginny is also a life and writing coach, and a gourmet cook wanna-be who grows some of her own herbs and veggies at her Northern California home. For more about Ginny and her books, visit www.ginnyyttrup.com.

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.

Invisible is an absolutely amazing book! One of those you remember, years after you’ve read it. Then you go back and read it again. 🙂
I throughly enjoyed reading Invisible.
