How One Woman’s Ministry Turned into an Inspired by Life Story

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

The Traveling Prayer Shawl by Jennifer Lynn Cary is an intriguing split-time novel that I am anxious to start reading ASAP! via @chautonahavig

Okay, so “retro romance” isn’t an official category, but when an author’s books barely squeak into historical, what’s she to do?  Especially since some of her target readers lived those years!  Jennifer Lynn Cary writes split-time and retro romance novels that sound so delightful and encouraging that I’ve added them all to my “want to read” list on GoodReads.

How One Woman’s Ministry Turned into an Inspired by Life Story

When I saw the title of this book, I was excited. My own experience with prayer shawl ministries intrigued me. How would a prayer shawl be the impetus for a story?  What kind of story?

Well, if you read the reviews, you’ll see that readers are LOVING this book.

The pull between life dreams and responsibilities and love of family and their expectations is such a familiar and understandable one.  I am eager to read this book and enjoy its inspirational themes for myself.

But Jennifer Lynn Cary hasn’t just written a book about prayer shawls and climbing corporate ladders.

In addition to that book, she’s also written The Weather Girls Series–a fun romp through the seventies. Ever wondered what life was like back in the seventies for parents?  Grandparents?  Older siblings?  Younger siblings? Well, Jennifer has absolutely provided that. With fun pop culture (unless you’re an ignoramus like me!) references and all, you’ll be transported back in time to see what Indiana life was like.

So much of the author’s personal experience has influenced these stories in one way or another, but that’s not all.

Jennifer Lynn Cary offers a free novella for folks who sign up for her newsletter (or you can buy it if you want to). In that, you’ll get an even closer, personal look at her family’s life including Colonel Sanders, her first pen pal, and more!

Speaking of The Weather Girls, don’t forget to read the box set so you can get that recipe for French Silk Pie.  You never know when someone you know might need a husband-getting dish… or is that just “need to get a dishy guy”? (Also available on Kindle Unlimited. Just sayin’.

The Traveling Prayer Shawl by Jennifer Lynn CaryThe Traveling Prayer Shawl by Jennifer Lynn Cary

Her dream account just landed in her lap…

…So did the future of her family

And she’s got two months to save them both.

Cami Madison’s grandmother died, leaving her with a task she must complete or all the inheritance goes to charity. Plus her boss handed her the ad campaign that will win her the coveted vice presidency opening.

Both have the same timetable.

When she realizes the projects are intertwined, things really start to unravel.

Kate Hanson raised her granddaughter after the child became an orphan in a car accident. But not all scars are on the outside.

Can Kate’s last request help Cami to heal?

Will Cami be able to step up to the job?

You will love this split-time women’s romance because when family is on the line, everyone knows the only way to survive is wrapped in prayer.

Order The Traveling Prayer Shawl now.

How often does Biblical fiction go back in time... How often does Biblical fiction go back in time... before time? Not often in my experience, but Jill Eileen Smith's Daughter of Eden takes a bold step to imagine the creation of the angels... of even Michael the Archangel!  Listen in while we chat about Eden, Eve, her children, and the war between those banished from heaven and those who remained to protect those made in God's image.
