Diana is a creative writer who skillfully entwines biblical truths and principles with interesting stories of everyday living. Since her early childhood, the Bible has been planted in her heart through Bible story books, tapes, and LP records, and the love for telling stories has been nurtured. Within these pages, you will meet characters from various walks of life. Some will bring a smile to your face, and others will give you food for thought. The stories are true, though some names have been changed to protect the privacy of individuals. Whether you prefer lighthearted stories or more serious tales, there are stories that can entertain you. Maine culture is carefully portrayed in the characters that come alive within the pages. Be uplifted and encouraged by stories of people whose faith in God has helped them overcome many difficulties in their lives. Read stories of a visit from an angel, a single moms special Christmas, the cat that is the boss at a garage, Mainers whose wealth is measured by love, and the way a homeless veteran found hope. Each story brings home a spiritual truth that once embraced will bring light to your path and strength for the journey.

“A charming, thoroughly engrossing novel that’s the next best thing to being there.” —People Magazine Hopewell Cottage Little Lost Island, Maine. Old, pretty cottage to rent on a small island. Springwater, blueberries, sea glass. August. So reads an ad on Lottie Wilkes’ and Rose Arbuthnot’s children’s preschool bulletin board. When the mothers arrive on the island, they are transformed by the salt air; the breathtaking views; the long, lazy days; and the happy routine of lobster, corn, and cocktails on the wraparound porch. By the time of the late-August blue moon, real life and its complications have finally fallen far, far away. For on this idyllic island they gradually begin to open up: to one another and to the possibilities of lives quite different from the ones they’ve been leading. Change can’t be that hard, can it? With a cast of endearingly imperfect characters—including indie movie star Caroline Dester and an elderly Beverly Fisher, who is recovering from heartbreaking loss—and set against the beauty of a gorgeous New England summer, Enchanted August is a sparkling summer debut that brilliantly updates the beloved classic The Enchanted April in a novel of love and reawakening that is simply irresistible.
