I was excited to see that Rosey Lee brought back more of the Gardins, and that she decided to take a difficult character and make her sympathetic--even likeable. Listen in as we discuss Martha Gardin and see what else is happening in Edin.

I love it when authors take those annoying characters and give us reasons to give them a second chance. Martha Gardin can be a bit much. Okay, a LOT bit much, but seeing her gentle a bit, too. Perfection.

Rosey Lee's grace and love for the Lord and His people shines through her conversation and in her work.

A Gardin Wedding by Rosey Lee

One of the Gardin women must navigate a season rich with unexpected challenges in the follow-up to The Gardins of Edin, a heartwarming story about love, forgiveness, new beginnings, and what it takes to get there.

Martha Gardin is a mess, and no one knows this better than the women in her family. Good-hearted but often misguided by distrust and insecurity, Martha is known for stirring up drama. That’s why Ruth, Naomi, and Mary are pleasantly surprised when Martha mellows out after she begins dating one of the most eligible bachelors in town.

Handsome, well-connected Oji Greenwald is everything Martha hoped to find in a man, and it’s only a matter of time before he pops the question. Rarely caught off guard, Martha is accustomed to getting her way. But when it appears she’s finally about to have the life she’s always wanted, a crisis in Oji’s family brings out Martha’s tendency to try to save the day her way, and the divide deepens between her and Oji’s already indifferent mother, Eve.

Confronted with these unforeseen challenges to her plans, Martha finds herself on a journey that forces her to fully acknowledge her previous mistakes and reconcile her past. But will it be enough to deliver her the future—and the love—her heart desires?
