Today I'd like to welcome a guest author to share a little bit
about her new collection which released September 1st. Say hello to
Heidi Gray McGill.
Here are a few details about her new book:

Spiritual Theme: Trusting God's plan even
when it doesn’t make sense, surrendering control to His timing, and
discovering that true belonging and healing are found when we seek
His best above our own.
Book Takeaway: No matter how uncertain the path, God’s
best is always worth seeking. These stories invite you to trust His
timing, believe in His goodness, and remember that even in seasons
of waiting or wandering, He is still writing something beautiful
with your life.
Why I Wrote This Book: I wrote these stories to remind
readers that God’s best often shows up in unexpected ways. Through
seasons of waiting, moments of heartache, and the quiet places of
doubt, I’ve learned—just like my characters—that God is always at
work, even when we can't see the ending. These books were never
meant to simply entertain. They were written to walk alongside you,
to reflect truth through story, and to point your heart back to the
One who sees, knows, and never forgets His promises.
One-sentence summary: Four faith-filled stories of love,
hope, and healing set in 1800s America, featuring a marriage of
convenience, slow-burn romance, found family, and an exclusive
bonus story available only in this bundle.
Back Cover Copy: A journey of faith, love, and belonging—told
through four unforgettable stories set in the heart of 1800s
America.
This beautifully bundled collection brings together the first two
novels in the Discerning God’s Best series, a heartwarming
Christmas novella, and an exclusive short story only available in

tapestry of faith-filled fiction centered on trusting God in every
season.

Desire of My Heart
A marriage of convenience. A risk worth taking. Can a young woman
on the run find God’s best in the most unlikely place?
With All My Heart
Two wounded souls. One unexpected journey. Healing begins when you
stop hiding and give God your whole heart.
Stitched on My Heart

own.
