everything Bright, Clear, and Beautiful: A Year of Poetry
On March 20, 2020, Rachel Devenish Ford started writing a poem a day, and she continued with this practice for an entire year. Her poetry is a gentle response to each day, like an answer in a conversation. Each one is a small, contained thing, translating world events, family events, or insect life into something a little easier to see, to love.

Note from the author:
I have always loved romance, and I think love stories are so beautiful. I also love the picture of the small town as a kind of landscape for community. I wanted to write something that reflected the kinds of people I have known all my life. So that is why I wrote about Aveline, a small town that is like the life I have known, with quirky, real, lovable characters who come from many backgrounds and ways of life.
Community, brokenness, kindness, and the love of God in action. Isn’t it amazing, how vulnerable we all are? And then we offer food and friendship in the context of houses and cafés and forests… we extend our hands to one another and become family.

Maybe a new start will be exactly what she needs.

Aveline book 2
Theresa Grant fled Aveline ten years ago, certain that she would never return. She was wrong.

Will a new house, new friends, and her work as a potter be enough to keep her in Aveline? Or will old secrets drive her away?
