Now available, "Linger" The latest from Rhonda Hanson!

A baby girl was once whisked away from her grandparents' home in an attempt to remove her from a drunken, abusive father, and to get her to safety. The baby girl is now a beautiful woman. Hester Collins and her mother combined their meager wages to keep a roof over their heads but now that Catherine Collins has passed, Hester is all alone. When her grandparents learn of Catherine's death, they write a letter and plead with their granddaughter to come live with them.

Hester finds a loving home with the elderly couple that she never really knew, on a farm at the end of a dirt road. She discovers a fascinating old man just up the road, at the Bishop farm, who has an immediate and emotional reaction to her return, and who shares his wit, his wisdom, and his poetry with her, despite the apparent displeasure of his suspicious, unamused son.

Hester also discovers her passion for growing things and for preserving the beauty of herbs and wildflowers with her art and her own gift for poetry. The elder Mister Bishop has declared the young woman, that his son has described as having dirty, bare feet and a profusion of long hair, flying in every direction, to be a wild wood nymph. The more disapproving his son becomes, the more humor his father finds in the effortless way the guileless, natural beauty manages to irritate him.

Despite his unwillingness, the day will come when the younger Mister Bishop must ask for help from Hester Collins. He will depend on her. He will need her. He will leave her.

His father once told him that life's pages only flip in one direction, and that he couldn't turn them back to read them again. Has he turned a page that he should have lingered on?

Presenting the latest from Rhonda Hanson

Love Finds The Way Home chronicles the profound journeys of healing and redemption, unfolding in a narrative that intertwines the stories of an abused woman's frantic attempt to find a place to hide, and another woman's bleak hopelessness, and her adamant refusal to ever trust love again.

For Daphne, love is a beacon in the distance that she desperately tries to reach. She is stalked by a man who has killed before, and is willing to kill again. Her escape from her pursuer is an act of desperation. It is her attempt to find refuge, and her flight takes her into the arms of her protector.

For Andi, traumatic events have radiated shock waves that have impacted her on every level. She has confused grief with a loss of faith and for her, love is a betrayer, banished outside a door that has been securely locked. She bitterly mocks and resists the minister who has made himself a target by consistently reaching out a hand to guide her to a place of healing.

When time and love join forces, a sanctuary begins to appear on the horizon for each woman, and love finds the way home.

The latest release from Rhonda Hanson...

THE LONG GOODBYE is dedicated to anyone who has ever become its victim, and who may even now be unable to move ahead without looking back. It is for those who will one day find themselves faced with the difficult decision to be willing to be part of another's journey of transition, even though it will be painful to watch them go through the door.

The story centers around a mysterious man who generates a lot of intrigue and speculation about his odd behavior. He will become a willing victim of the long goodbye and will be forever changed because of it.

There are many kinds of long goodbyes. There are the fading friendships, where communication becomes scarce, and the emotional connection dissipates slowly, excruciatingly, over time. There is the lingering grief after the loss of a loved one, where the pain and sadness persists for an extended period of time, hindering one's ability to fully move on and find closure.

One of the most tragic, long goodbyes is that of Alzheimer's Disease, because there is still a physical presence. There is still a hand to hold, while speaking brightly and animatedly, in a vain attempt to draw a response, only to be met by a blank stare at some indistinct something in the distance.

There is the goodbye that begins when an accident causes complete, permanent paralysis, or by the onset of a disease such as ALS, and a life support chair and artificial support for breathing are all that keeps one attached to this earth.

While some of these are touched on in some form or another, THE LONG GOODBYE focuses mainly on those who choose to remain close to a passing loved one's side during hospice care. They are willing victims of the long goodbye, which can be a prolonged and emotionally draining process of saying farewell to someone who is dear.

The author is well acquainted with long goodbyes, having spent a great amount of time keeping vigil over loved ones who are now gone from this realm, but are alive in another. THE LONG GOODBYE persuades the reader to look beyond the present sadness and toward a God who is not far off from His humans.

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.*

And so we wait for the morning.

* Psalm 30:5

The latest release from Rhonda Hanson, "Dancing to an Elegy for Eden"

Long ago, Piers Brooks had a farm that was referred to by all the locals as Eden, favorably compared to that biblical utopia. Like Paradise Lost, the once idyllic homestead is no more.

A little, dark-eyed girl stared out the back windshield of the family car, watching it slowly disappear behind them, too young to realize that grown-ups who mourn the fact that one can never go home again, do so for a reason.

The little dark-eyed girl is now a beautiful, dark-eyed woman, who finds herself alone in the world, and dreams of returning to a lush, flourishing marker in time, of what was once a cherished life. One of the last things Piers Brooks told his daughter was that it would be better if she let it live on as a lovely, childhood memory, and not try to revisit a place that could surely not be expected to still exist as the fertile, pleasant parcel of earth they drove away from, leaving it vulnerable, unprotected, and at the mercy of what was to come.

Now, she covers her mouth with her hands, and stares all around in shock, and grief, with a keen sense of having been violated, too late to realize that her father had desperately wanted to spare his child the kind of disappointment that casts doubts on the validity of what were once carefully treasured memories.

Eden is dead. Evil has come and blood has been spilled. All that remains is the debris, the desecration, the willful defilement, and carnage at the hands of lawless strangers, who have swarmed and landed, as vultures gathering to peck at the carcass, and who now turn their malevolent focus to the daughter of Piers Brooks.

Another has stepped forward from the shadows of the past, who loved Eden from long ago and paid the price for its ransom. There can be no resurrection, but he is determined to free it from its captors, in order to let it rest in peace and dignity. To the child he knew and to the woman she has become, his kindness is an act of respect, a tribute... a funeral song. An elegy for Eden.

All that classical musician Cora Hartmann wanted, when she was the top bidder on an online auction and bought the decrepit old house and its beautiful acres of hardwood forest, was to be able to turn it into a sanctuary where she could be alone to compose her music. Every morning, she dutifully drove out to the property and made her way through the trees to the house, to continue dragging out ugly carpet, and doing what she could in order to make the place inhabitable.

Alone in the woods, she was unprepared to be confronted by a scowling, intimidating man who blocked her path and demanded to know where his sister was, who Cora was, and what she was doing at his sister's house.

When Cora claimed no knowledge of his missing sister and informed him that the house belonged to her, he stepped closer and looked down at her, narrowing his dark, unreadable eyes and clenching his jaw in anger. Although he hadn't touched her, she had the sensation that he had just grabbed her and shaken her.

Morgan Roberts was frustrated that he hadn't found a man on his sister's property so that he could beat him to a pulp until he confessed what he knew about Jane. Instead, he had to encounter this beautiful, vexing creature who was either a proficient liar, or really hadn't been given any details about who the house belonged to.

Where was the beautiful Jane Roberts? Was she dead? Her brother, a wealthy timber baron, had arrived in this small town from halfway across the country to find out, and no one was going to stop him. Would Cora be determined to challenge him, or would she become his lifeline?

Now available from Rhonda Hanson and Grace Under Pressure Publishing, "Once Upon An Altar". For more information: https://graceunderpressure.com/altar.html

If anyone should be able to forgive, it should be a minister. Week after week, the young, handsome Pastor Grant Sellars stands in the pulpit preaching the gospel and its message of forgiveness to his congregation, while he nurses a past wound that has never healed. He has been devoted to his anger, stoking its heat and telling himself that he deserves to feel the way he does, and that no one is going to take that away from him. Over the years, he has chosen to cope by filling his time with working out at the gym, running endless miles around the park and hanging out with his buddy, Fred.

Fred is soon to be married, and Pastor Sellars will be forced to officiate at the wedding, even though the very thought of a wedding reminds him that his anger is still there, just waiting to be unleashed. It is a humiliating and painful thing to be left at the altar and to become the object of pity as everyone sits staring at the groom when the undeniable truth is revealed that no bride is coming down the aisle to meet him. Now, the last thing the minister wants to do is to join two people in matrimony, and his brand of premarital counseling is distorted, at best.

Grant's profession often requires him to serve in this capacity, as well as dedicate babies, visit the sick, and preach funerals. It is while preaching a funeral as a favor for an incapacitated minister that the dam that has been holding back years of bitterness and wrath finally breaks, and leaves the hurting, young pastor leaning against the windows of the local gym, staring out at the parking lot with hot tears running down his face, whispering, "I'm not okay, God. I'm not okay."

A beautiful actress has arrived in this small Mississippi town and stands in need of forgiveness, but she knows that the local pastor is the last one willing to offer it to her.

Now available from Rhonda Hanson and Grace Under Pressure Publishing, "The Master Of Hawthorn Manor". For more information: https://graceunderpressure.com/hawthorn.html

When beautiful Audra Campbell returned to the town she had lived in with her aunt, after having been gone for several years, the first bit of gossip she heard was that Martin Satterfield was recently widowed, following the untimely and suspicious death of his late wife.

Audra had never cared for the hostile, dark, brooding man, and liked his late wife even less. In spite of her Aunt Celeste's staunch loyalty to him, Audra can't help but question whether the volatile, intimidating master of Hawthorn Manor had anything to do with Darlene Satterfield's sudden demise.

A relentless, but inadequate detective is bent on proving that Martin Satterfield is guilty, but finds himself in the crosshairs of a man who prefers being the predator, rather than the prey.

The lone descendant and heir to the Satterfield fortune now roams the many hallways of the impressive, but silent, isolated Hawthorn Manor, surrounded by miles of fields and meadows, and the graves of all those who had loved him, but left him.

Martin's secret dread is living out his remaining years by himself, and dying alone, yet he remains disturbingly forbidding and aloof and Audra wonders if the master of Hawthorn Manor deserves his fate.
