God's Transforming Truth
in Women's Fiction
My stories show common human struggles and God's involvement. Like life, it mixes painful spiritual and emotional growth with humor, which sometimes comes in canine form.
Recovering from cancer
Recovering from cancer is an ongoing major event that mostly is a singular experience. I mean that while friends and family, doctors and nurses, technicians and pharmacists all play important parts the experience is individual alone. The healing is in God's hands. 2022 has been consumed with cancer, discovering it, surgeries, ER visits and hospitalizations and chemotherapies, then the repercussions of that. Now the healing begins. The strength slowly returns. A normal life can be re-embraced moment by moment. What was stolen from me is being restored. Blessed be the name of the Lord. May I learn all the Lord would have me learn through this experience. I'm sure I'll be sharing that with you, as I heal.
Newcomers Grace and her pastor father work to break the strongholds over the town. When the skeleton of a girl missing for ten years is found, Cody is the prime suspect. Together the two search for truth. What will be left when long-held secrets are exposed?

I live in the Midwest with my husband. Our lives our intertwined with the seasonal activities of the great outdoors.

In 2020, we lost Jake, whose keen nose often got him into trouble. For years, he maintained the legacy of comic canine catastrophes our other beloved animals had set. It's why a dog always seems to find its way into my stories.

Even so, my focus isn't on dogs, but people with human struggles who discover God's interest in rescuing all of us, especially from ourselves. Happy reading, and if anything touches you, I’d love to hear about it. Contact me at marymarieallen2015@gmail.com
