In a Grove of Maples

Please join me in congratulating Jenny Knipfer on the publication of In a Grove of Maples! I had the pleasure of helping Jenny design the cover. Here's the book description:

A HISTORICAL NOVEL OF THE PERILS OF NEWLYWED LIFE AND ALL THAT COMES TO DIVIDE LOVERS

In 1897 newly married Beryl and Edward Massart travel more than one thousand miles from Quebec to farm a plot of land in Wisconsin that they bought sight-unseen. An almost magical grove of maples on their property inspires them to dream of a real home built within the grove, not the tiny log cabin they’ve come to live in.

Misunderstandings and tempers get the better of them when difficulties and troubles arise. Just months after they wed, Edward leaves pregnant Beryl in the midst of the coming winter to tend the farm and animals while he goes to be a teamster at a northern Wisconsin logging camp.

Will Beryl and Edward walk into the future together to build their house of dreams in the grove of maples, or will their plans topple like a house of sticks when the winds of misunderstanding and disaster strike?

Readers of Christian historical fiction, historical fiction, women’s fiction, and Christian historical romance will be endeared to this slice of late 19th century farm life.


In a Grove of Maples is available now in ebook and print editions on Amazon. Add it to your shelves on Goodreads, and visit Jenny's website for more information on all of her books.
