Welcome to the debut episode of the Christian Romance Podcast! Kelly Jo Wilson talks with Heidi Chiavaroli, an award-winning novelist and hope-inspired storyteller who writes Christian romance novels.
Heidi shares her experiences as an author, including her writing background and faith journey. She discusses her unique writing style, which combines contemporary and historical romance in dual-timeline books.
She also talks about the challenges and perseverance required in the writing journey. Heidi shares her favorite Bible verse, Hebrews 12:1, which encourages endurance and keeping our eyes on Jesus.
Heidi’s latest book, The Way Back, is about a woman who seeks shelter at her estranged grandmother’s seaside inn while facing the uncovering of family secrets.
Heidi Chiavaroli is a hope-inspired storyteller writing from the deep curiosity of her own heart. Her debut novel, Freedom’s Ring, was a Carol Award winner, Christy Award finalist, Romantic Times Top Pick, and Booklist Top Ten Romance Debut. Her second Carol Award-winning novel, The Orchard House, is inspired by the lesser-known events in Louisa May Alcott’s life and led her to write The Orchard House Bed and Breakfast series, a contemporary twist on Little Women. Heidi makes her home in Massachusetts with her husband and two sons.
Young love means everything . . . until it leaves you with nothing.
The summer before her senior year of high school, Laney Jacobs and her best friend jump from a six-story beachside cliff to impress their boyfriends. Laney rose from the water. Her friend did not.
Six years later, when Laney’s troubled mother’s memoir hits the bestseller list airing the family’s destructive secrets, Laney is forced to relive the trauma, this time in the public eye. To escape the scrutiny, she seeks shelter at her estranged grandmother’s seaside inn.
But she can’t reconcile the loving woman with the heartless parent in her mother’s book. As she looks for answers, the ex-boyfriend who’d witnessed her darkest days reappears, stirring up both pain and hope.
When her mother’s vindictive fans threaten her grandmother’s livelihood and the lighthouse Laney has come to love, she turns to the century-old words of a young lighthouse keeper to help her find the courage to move forward. But once truths from the past come to light and old love finds new beginnings, will Laney discover that forgiveness is the only way toward true healing?
