RELEASE DATE: December 1, 2020
PAGES: 66
This Christmas, Two Lost and Broken Families Need Restoration.
Sam Jarrett was just starting to explore spiritual things when his world was shattered. Now, he’s completely turned his back on God. Laura Preston is a devoted believer, leaning heavily on her faith to get her through each tortured day.
Two Chance Meetings Spark a Friendship and a Glimmer of Hope.
Sam battles God’s prodding through Laura’s gentle, caring spirit. When another tragedy strikes on Christmas Eve, Sam is sure that God has completely deserted him. Laura tries to show Sam that God loves him and has been there all the time, but how can Sam trust when he has no faith?
A New Hope for Christmas is a story of restored faith in a God who never leaves us, even when we can’t see or feel Him near.

I asked the author…
What do you most want readers to take away from A new hope for Christmas?
That there are always people around us struggling to get through their first holidays after the loss of a loved one. Pray that God will show you a meaningful way to minister to them–a hug, a card, a meal, a donation in their loved one’s name–the list is endless.
Erin has been writing fiction since 2014 and is published independently and with Pelican Book Group and Winged Publications. She is a 2021 American Christian Fiction Writers Carol Award Finalist.
Writing is like breathing to Erin. Stories are running through her mind during most of her waking hours, and by the time she sits down at the computer, the words flow and time ceases to exist.
Erin was raised in Illinois and has lived in many places in the U.S., including on both coasts, but is a Midwest girl at heart. She spent many years as an educator from pre-school through college levels, and currently works in communications for a global corporation.
When she’s not writing, Erin loves spending time with her children and grandchildren, and playing in the garden (which equates to mostly pulling weeds) at her central Iowa home. Her secret indulgence is plain M&Ms.

New author for me.
This sounds like a really sweet story, and it’s a new author for me.
Sounds really good!
I’ve been waiting for this post! Erin and I have been e-mailing some this summer and she is such a sweetheart. She’s been so encouraging on my own writing journey. Cheering for her!
Beautiful cover!
So pretty and sounds so good.
I read this book last year! In my review I noted that it made me laugh and cry.

I love romance with a holiday theme. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
