About Kimberly
Grist:
Kimberly Grist is married to her high school
sweetheart, Nelson, who is a pastor in Griffin, Georgia. She and her husband
have three adult sons, one with Down syndrome, and she has a passion encouraging others to begin special needs ministries
in the church. Kim is also a grandmother and feels called to help and
encourage others and to share experiences both good and bad in order to be the
witness that God would have us to be.
Kim has enjoyed writing since she was a young girl, however, began writing her first novel in 2017. Inspired by so many things life has to offer one of which includes her oldest son’s diagnosis of cancer she finds it especially gratifying to write a happy ending. “Suffering is, of course, is my least favorite thing. My objective is not to discuss my struggles specifically but to combine a love of history with biblical principles to produce a clean historical Christian romance, that shows how God uses adversity for our good in ways we may never expect.”
Combining, History, Humor, and Romance with an emphasis on Faith, Friends and Good Clean Fun, Rebecca’s Hope, a work of fiction that reminds us how God can use adversity to strengthen us and draw us closer to Him and give us the desires of our heart in ways we may never expect.
Fans of historical romance set in late 19th-century will enjoy this beautiful story of love and forgiveness. As the unfortunate circumstances of Rebecca's childhood unfold, we discover a heroine who is both resilient and kind. Rebecca and Sam's love story will have readers rooting for their happy ending,
Kim

butterfly garden. She and her husband also raise rottweillers, one of which
recently had a small part in a made for original

About Christine Sterling:
Christine Sterling lives in a
pre-civil war Farm House with her husband, three dogs - Morgan, Brandi and
Samson, and about a dozen rescued barn cats. She has been writing since she was
eight years when her grandparents gave her a Sears & Roebuck typewriter
with a hard-plastic cover for Christmas in 1977.
She spent her teen years crafting stories to include all her friends and then she discovered her true love -- romance when her beloved grandmother, Gigi, brought home a free promotional book from the Second Chance at Love Collection.
She was hooked and began to write and read every single romance book she could get her hands on. She has since authored and published many short stories, magazine articles, and the occasional novella. She has also ghost-authored and collaborated as a writing coach on many books.
She is passionate about writing, cooking, gardening, teaching others to write and publish their first book. She straddles the line between fiction and non-fiction, not only writing historical and contemporary romances, but personal development books as well.
One of her big goals is to grow a 150lb pumpkin and feature it in the county fair.
She loves hearing from her fans and will answer every email personally.
