The Heart's Hostage
Book 3
Ian and Jane Garner are Harvest Bay’s storybook couple: high school sweethearts now married for twenty years with four great kids and a beautiful home. But this storybook, like most, can’t be judged by its cover. Ian works long hours at the business he built to provide for his family, unintentionally alienating his wife in the process. Feeling unappreciated and disrespected when Jane demands more of his time, he turns to an adult website and retreats to lick his wounded pride in private.
For over half of her life, Jane fulfilled her role as Ian’s wife, seldom receiving as much as she gave to the marriage. Left lonely and dying inside, she turns to her forgotten love of painting and a new friendship with a male coworker to revive the cold and dormant part of heart. As their marriage unravels, Ian and Jane begin to realize that to save their marriage, first they both need a Savior and that a threefold cord is not easily broken. But when a life or death situation occurs, is it too late for forgiveness, grace, and mercy to set them free to return to the love they once knew? Or will they continue to be held as The Heart’s Hostage?

One Holy Night by J. M. Hochstetler
Christian Small Publisher 2009 Book of the Year and finalist for ACFW 2009 Carol Award
For these uncertain times, an inspiring story of grace, hope, and healing. As on that holy night so long ago . . . in a world torn by sin and strife . . . to a family that has suffered heart-wrenching loss . . . there will be born a baby . . .
In 1967 the military build-up in Viet Nam is undergoing a dramatic surge. The resulting explosion of anti-war sentiment slices through generations and shatters families. In the quiet bedroom community of Shepherdsville, Minnesota, the war comes home to Frank and Maggie McRae, whose only son, Mike, is a grunt in Viet Nam.
Frank despises all Asians because of the horrors he witnessed as a young soldier fighting the Japanese in the South Pacific during WWII, and especially because of his brother’s brutal death in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. So when Mike marries Thi Nhuong, a young Vietnamese woman, Frank ignores the pleas of his wife, Maggie, and daughter, Julie, and disowns his soldier son. At the same time Frank desperately bargains with a God he hardly knows for Maggie’s healing from cancer.
When Frank's world is ripped apart, he is forced to confront the ugliness of his hatred in an unforgettable moment of truth. What happens next is nothing less than a miracle.
