As Judy weaves an elaborate web of lies to protect herself and her nephew, she and Timmy become intricately woven into the lives of their landlord and his daughter - interfering with the man's engagement to a woman Judy knows is wrong for Ben and little Victoria.

About the author (2012)

Joyce Livingston has done many things in her life (in addition to being a wife, mother of six and grandmother to oodles of grandkids)--from being a television broadcaster for eighteen years, to lecturing and teaching on quilting and sewing, to writing magazine articles on a variety of subjects. She’s danced with Lawrence Welk, ice-skated with a chimpanzee, had bottles broken over her head by stuntmen, interviewed hundreds of celebrities and well-known figures, and many interesting and unusual things. Later she became a part-time tour escort and traveled to wonderful and exotic places. Joyce became a widow in 2004. In 2008, she married her Sunday school teacher, Pastor Dale Lewis (who had also lost his spouse), and became a pastor’s wife, serving daily with him in his ministry. She is also very active in the women’s ministry of her church and recently wrote and led a well-received Bible study she called, “It’s All about the Shoes!” Four of her books have been named Contemporary Book of the Year in the Heartsong Readers Poll, and she was voted Favorite Author of the Year 3 times. In addition, her Heartsong book, One Last Christmas, won the coveted Contemporary Book of the Year award given by The American Christian Fiction Writers organization. In addition to writing for Barbour, Joyce also writes for Love Inspired. Her first venture into a larger women’s fiction book was The Widow’s Club, also published by Barbour, which was soon followed up with a second book, Invasion of the Widow’s Club. Joyce has always thought of her writing as a calling of God, and hopes that her readers will be touched and uplifted by what she writes. Recently God led her to discover “Bible Journaling.” As a result, she organized and teaches a continuing series, showing Women how to “Bible Journal.” Lives are being changed as God speaks to women through this amazing way to get deeply into his Word. What’s on the horizon for Joyce? Whatever God calls her to do – she’s ready!
