The Orchard Grove Christian Women's Fiction books are standalone literary novels about real-life believers facing real-life struggles. You won't meet perfect saints whose lives are faultless models of the Christian faith. Instead, you'll meet a perfect God whose plans of redemption are far more glorious than what the mortal mind could ever imagine. The Orchard Grove books are a literary series of family-drama stories with realistic characters facing gritty issues that confront contemporary Christians today. Standalone novels from award-winning Christian fiction novelist Alana Terry, whose books "inspire without preaching at you," these titles merge edgy Christian fiction, literary prose, and a God compassionate enough to look upon those who suffer and "to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes ... a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair" (Isaiah 60:3).
