Eva Schmidt’s own life experiences and faith shape her Christian fiction. She was born and raised Mennonite and is a born-again believer and follower of Jesus Christ. Eva lives with her husband on a farm near La Crete, Alberta—a close-knit community like the one where Mary, her book’s protagonist, lives. Eva and her husband have four adult children and several grandchildren.
Eva sings in the church choir, and fills the intervening time with reading, knitting, crocheting, and, of course, writing. Grace to Forgive is her second book. She notes that in her stories: “I want my readers to be encouraged and inspired to put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.”
By juxtaposing Mennonite and secular culture, developing strong female characters, and—best of all—crafting an ambiguous but hopeful tale, Schmidt has created a layered, satisfying novel.
