BSB Interview

 

Coming Soon...

 

September Canvas (June 2009)

Feeling depleted and at a crossroads in her personal life, Faythe Hamilton, popular TV-personality, rents a lakeside cabin in Vermont for a much-needed vacation. Her first day in town, Faythe receives unsolicited warnings from the locals to stay away from her neighbor, whom they refer to as “that woman,” which only rouses her curiosity.  

Deanna Moore, a successful illustrator, has dedicated her life to her work and her sister. Deanna’s reputation is tarnished by accusations of immoral behavior, and she tries to ignore the pain of such lies. When she meets Faythe she is reluctantly attracted to her, but she has every reason to suspect that Faythe will side with the people spreading rumors about her. 

This is a story of hurt and betrayal, but also of trust and endurance as two women struggle to show faith and dare to love.
