What's it about?

THE MISSION

Claire came to Tabor five years ago to make a new start. Her life is wrapped up in the Mission, a former elementary school turned into an outreach center for Tabor Christian Church. They now have funds for renovations and expansion, thanks to teaming up with the Arc Foundation.

Paul comes to be the new head custodian, threatening her equilibrium. First, his daughter, Sammy, decides Claire will be her new mommy, then Claire begins to fear Paul will take over, changing the vision and goals of the Mission.

Paul only wants a fresh start and a safe home for Sammy. The Mission’s vision has caught his imagination, and Claire has caught his heart. She stands by him when his dead wife's vicious relatives threaten to take custody of Sammy. In turn, he is there for her when family problems threaten to follow her to Tabor.

Jennifer has almost finished recovering from a brutal injury while protecting a fugitive mother and her children. Coming to the Mission as minister to children will help her ease back into her work for the Arc Foundation. But then Doug is hired as Pastor Wally's assistant. Jennifer and Doug have a bad history, thanks to his father and her mother and an affair that destroyed several Air Force careers and families. All Jennifer wants is for Doug not to recognize or remember her, but sometimes God doesn't answer prayers the way His children want.

Teamwork for the sake of the Mission promises to become so much more, if the four of them only have the courage to take a chance.

COPS AND BOBBERS

Trina is the new Rec Director for Tabor Heights. She loves her job, and she loves the town's kids, and she really wishes she could get to know Officer Mike Nichols better. How can a great guy like him be interested in a woman who dresses like an adolescent and plays with children all day?

Officer Mike will do whatever it takes to make Rec Director Trina happy, even put on swim trunks and help special needs swimmers at the city pool. This summer, they might just have a chance to make their daydreams come true.

This is also the prequel to the next Tabor Heights release, coming August 15 from MtZionRidgePress.com: BEHIND THE SCENES.

Tony and Max are best friends. Writing partners. People swear he doesn't know she's a girl and she doesn't know he's a boy. When Tony goes away for a few months as a teacher, he realizes that empty place inside is Max-shaped. His revelation isn't something he can tell her over the phone. Every idea to tell her how he feels sounds like the plot for a book they would never write.

Then Max's parents are nearly killed in an accident. Tony drops everything to come home and be there for her and her brothers. He'll just have to wait until things calm down before he confesses his love. The only problem is, between the accident and the usual chaos of running a community theater and the world suddenly "discovering" where Max's mother, actress Emily Keeler has been "hiding" for the last twenty-five years, things might never calm down.


All Tony can do is prove his love by being her rock, drop lots of hints, and look for the best opportunity to make his case. Before the new guy in the tech crew makes his move. He's certainly been paying a lot more attention to Max than Tony is comfortable with.

Max has tried for a long time now not to want more, and closer, than what she and Tony have. With all the chaos of holding together Homespun Theater, staging a new production, and dealing with the paparazzi invasion, she shouldn't have time for useless wishing and dreams that can only get her into trouble. And yet …
