Heartfelt stories of faith, love, and small-town life.
D. L. Forgard is currently writing the Beauty from Ashes Trilogy. Book One (Smoke in the Air) is set to be published soon!
Beauty from Ashes was born from a desire to explore how God's grace and sovereignty can reach into the quietest corners of our lives and redeem what we thought was lost forever. Inspired by the faith of those who trust in God even in the worst of circumstances, I wanted to create a heroine like Rebekah, someone who finds her strength in trusting God, not just in herself. My hope is that as you walk the fictional town of Springtown, Wyoming, you’ll be reminded to look for God's sovereignty and goodness in your own life.
Rebekah Jenkins must decide if she can forgive her small town’s returning prodigal son to save her career and discover a love built on faith.
