Home Another Way (Christian Fiction Series)
Left to be raised by her emotionally distant grandmother as an infant after her mother's death and father's abandonment, twenty-seven-year-old Sarah Graham is now living hard and fast in an attempt to escape the past, but when her father dies, she must travel to the tiny mountain hamlet of Jonah, New York, to claim her inheritance from her estranged father, only to learn that her father's will stipulates a six-month stay before she can receive the money.

About the Author:
A past winner of Associated Press awards for her journalism, Christa Parrish now teaches literature and writing to high school students, is a homeschool mom, and lives near Saratoga Springs, New York.
From Publishers Weekly:
Parrish's debut novel begins with the mother of all Christian fiction clichés: a young urban sophisticate is forced, much to her chagrin, to move from the city to the country. Despite this scenario playing out largely according to the formula (stock rural characters teach said sophisticate important life lessons), the story feels fresh. Parrish's protagonist, Sarah Graham, is unabashedly self-centered, unfriendly, promiscuous and lazy—and amazingly enough, she holds on to these characteristics throughout most of the novel. The conversion she experiences in the brutally poor mountain hamlet of Jonah is full of hiccups and reversals. Just when it seems that Sarah has been rehabilitated, she tosses off yet another casually diabolical thought or action with absolutely no remorse. The people of Jonah are flawed and complicated, too, and Parrish allows readers to savor every moment of genuine, hard-earned human connection. With its vast array of richly imagined characters, its humor and its substance, this debut is sure to resonate with a wide and appreciative audience. (Oct.)
