Ladies of Garfield

Iris Evans is all grown up and back in Garfield with a fresh license in veterinary medicine. A Christian since the age of 12, Iris has always been the smart, compassionate, and outspoken darling of her family, working diligently to seek out and follow God’s plan for her life. She never expected that plan to include a friendship with the man who kidnapped her niece 10 years ago, a friendship she’s kept secret for five years. A friendship sure to tear her away from the sister she adores.

Charlene Hubbard wanted the dream - a loving husband, a fulfilling career, and a few kids. When it looked like she’d have to settle for two out of three, God dropped a child into her empty arms. For 15 years Charley kept the secret of that adoption close. Kinsley Hubbard has lived her whole life under the shadow of a secret. The shadow dissipated in the harsh light of truth the day she opened an Instagram message from a new friend. "You’re adopted. Ask your mother about her old college friend". What are you supposed to do once you find out your whole life has been a lie?

Jessica Cooper married the love of her life right after high school graduation only to have her happily-ever-after dreams burned to cinders the night her husband broke her arm in a fit of rage. Twelve years later Jesse says yes to Garrett’s proposal, convinced it’s finally her turn to have the life and love she’s always longed for, with a man who can be trusted to hold those dreams safe. When Garrett is accused of the unthinkable and her ex-husband turns up on her doorstep, offering apologies and undying love, who should she believe?

At 22, college student Ember Monroe thought she’d found her happily-ever-after in Quinn Abbott. All it took was one ill-fated night and the worst betrayal imaginable to rip those dreams to shreds. Now, almost a decade later, Ember’s happily-ever-after has a new look as she raises the two daughters of her deceased best friend. With a business she loves, and a family she never expected, Ember has all she wants...until Quinn comes back into her life determined to break her heart a second time.

Holly Hoffman hasn’t had an easy life. Thanks to parents who were more concerned with their drug habits than their daughters, she’s been making her own way for as long as she can remember. At 24, she finally has her life as close to perfect as she can make it. Work is fulfilling, she has a new set of crafting friends, and the home she shares with her sister is more stable than any she had as a child. Perfect disintegrates when the nativity set she’s painting for a client comes to life in her hands. Delusion or the act of a God she’s never believed in?
