From WILLA Literary Award-winning author Jaimee Wriston comes a novel for fans of Jami Attenberg and Elizabeth Strout about a former model whose undisciplined granddaughter turns her fastidious, controlled life upside down, forcing her to confront what she values. Amelia MacQueen has lost her favorite son, Gavin, to a suspicious drowning, for which her daughter-in-law has been convicted. She’s been awarded temporary custody of Gavin and Cassie's twelve-year-old daughter, Heaven, a name that makes Amelia cringe. Reluctantly, she takes Heaven in, but asks the girl to call her Grandmelia instead of Grandma, a name that doesn't make Amelia feel quite so old. The daughter of drug addicts, who has long been left to her own devices, Heaven does not appreciate her grandmother’s constant critical ministrations, and the pair quickly butt heads. She instead bonds with Uncle Daniel, Amelia's older, agoraphobic son, who never leaves his bedroom. Through the wall between their rooms, Daniel spins Celtic tales for Heaven from the Isle of Skye, where the family's ancestors lived, including fifteen-year-old Maggie, who mysteriously disappeared crossing the Atlantic many years ago. Heaven decides that the best way to deal with bullying at school is to become a siren from one of Uncle Daniels's stories. She sings "drowning songs" in the swim team pool, luring mean girl Bethany Harrison under at the deep end. Then, Amelia comes home one day to find her granddaughter serving Oreos to the cops who picked her up for "snaking" junk food from the neighborhood. As much as Amelia loved Gavin, Heaven is the last thing Amelia would have asked for, but when Heaven goes missing during a dangerous storm one night, Amelia is forced to reexamine her outlook on family. In vivid prose, Jaimee Wriston tells a wry multi-generational tale of redemption, exploring the bonds that make and break a family and the transformative power of storytelling.

This Is the Day

Finding Your Calling for Christ - Devotional

By: Jaimee Wolfard

Several years ago, God began to speak to me in moments of silence where I was seeking His voice and through dreams. I needed to know what His plan was for my life because it felt like I was running in circles and hitting roadblocks. Life was tough, and it didn't seem like all the things I was doing for God and the church were helping make my path become clearer. During a debilitating fight with cancer, I was at my weakest, and I still heard Him speaking to me. God never leaves us and is always wooing us to the call He has for us. During the editing process of this book, I was attacked two more times with different cancers. First, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer and had to have part of my kidney removed. Then, during my recovery, after having an annual mammogram, I was told that I had breast cancer again and had to have a double mastectomy. These diagnoses have not deterred me because I know that God gave me "this day" as a stepping stone toward my "that day," and I will be obedient. Each new day is a step deeper into what He has for me. The devil seems to be trying to delay or stop this message from getting out, but all it has done is reiterated that through my storms and suffering God gets the glory! I have learned that in my weakness He shines more to those around me as I give Him honor for every blessing and continue to praise Him even through my sorrows. My faith grows because I know that as long as I am living, He is not done with me. It starts with saying, "This is the day I will begin to follow Christ with all of me no matter what comes my way." Over the past sixteen years, during my search for His calling, God has used dreams, people, and His still small voice to guide me through the process of writing this devotional. This book was written as God gave me revelation to the steps in finding my calling. I like to have things told to me straight and to the point. I feel God has given it to me in easy-to-understand, with-no-fluff guidelines. He knows what we need. I have heard from people of all ages desperate to have God give them an audible direction for their calling. We have to be in a place to hear Him, and I have outlined some of those for you. I had to walk through this devotional for my life to be able to finish it for you. Each chapter was another step for me to follow so I could see His direction clearly. There is a prayer for you and reflection questions with journaling space for your notes at the end of each section to help guide you on your journey with Christ. God has changed my heart, and I hope that you find your calling as you begin your "This day." "He has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace" (2 Timothy 1:9 NIV).

Campfire Cookery

Adventuresome Recipes and Other Curiosities for the Great Outdoors

By: Sarah Huck,Jaimee Young

“The variety of dishes that Huck and Young present as possibilities for preparing and cooking outdoors is rather astounding and pleasantly surprising” (Epicurious). Camping fare typically includes burgers and hot dogs, and while these are certainly easy, get ready to rethink the cuisine that can be savored over the open flame. With recipes like Spiced Currant Cream Scones, Maple-Glazed Wild Salmon, and Tomato Tarte Tatin, Huck and Young celebrate delicious food and the great outdoors. They also include step-by-step instructions for activities such as stargazing, foraging for woodland berries, and minding one’s fruits of the sea (or, how to clean a fish). Campfire Cookery proves that the campfire cannot only be a blissful escape but a true culinary destination. “It is the rare cookbook that has even the camping-averse actually contemplating a weekend of mosquitoes and sweaty sleeping bags . . . But really, we simply love the recipes.” —LA Weekly
