I had a pretty good idea that my novella would release sometime in June, but I didn’t know when. On Tuesday afternoon it appeared on Amazon and on Wednesday folks could start reading it! How exciting and scary all at once!
Normally, I get to sort of string a debut out, teasing potential readers with the cover image, the back cover copy, a few quotes, endorsements, etc. This week, it happened all at once! Very gratifying for those of us who like to eat dessert immediately. So here’s everything. And if you click on the cover photo, you’ll go to Amazon.com where you can download the book and start reading right away.
Or not. Maybe you like to save dessert. Either way is fine with me–just hope you find consuming it as delicious as I found creating it!
Delilah Morrissey has always wanted to be a mother, but when she becomes a young widow, that dream now seems farther away than ever. Unable to continue to live alone in Chicago, her only option is to accept her sister’s offer to move in with her family back in West Virginia. Will Delilah have the faith to pursue a new dream–even if it means giving up the old?
In this charming novella, debut novelist Sarah Loudin Thomas introduces readers to Wise, West Virginia–a small town nestled in an Appalachian valley where the everyday miracles of life and faith play out in stories of healing, hope, and love.
Includes an excerpt of Miracle in a Dry Season, the first full-length novel in the Appalachian Blessings series–a book New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber called, “Wonderful, simply wonderful.”

Any way to download it to Nook?
I think you can download the free Kindle app to read on other devices. Definitely on a laptop, desktop, or tablet, not sure about Nook.
Downloaded it yesterday–can’t wait to read it!!!!
Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Will it eventually be available as a paperback?
I don’t know of definite plans at this point–it may be offered along with a some other Bethany House novellas as part of a collection. Guess it will depend on demand!
I read Appalachian Serenade and am in the process of writing a review for it now on my book blog. I enjoyed this novella.
Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it! I’ll keep an eye out for the review.
