List : A Novel
$17.99Add to cartThere is a power in the list. . .
Fresh out of law school and full of hope for the future, Renny Jacobson is stunned by his father’s sudden death-and then by the terms of the will: the elder Jacobson has left the bulk of his considerable estate to charity. For his only son, he has left nothing more than the contents of a safe deposit box and interest in a company no one has ever heard of-the Covenant List of South Carolina, Ltd.
When Renny, in rapid succession, encounters lovely Jo Johnston, meets the members of “The List,” and discovers the staggering value of his father’s mysterious bequest, his hope is resurrected. But why is Jo, to whom he is deeply attracted, so reluctant for him to claim his rightful share in the windfall?

And nothing short of a miracle will save them from its grasp.

Womens Intuition
$20.99Add to cartSamson, author of The Church Ladies, stakes out her claim as a novelist of distinction for readers who enjoy evangelical Christian fiction but often choke on the pabulum that passes for it. Larkspur Summerville is a 41-year-old paranoid virtual recluse who for 20 years has kept a secret from her family-a secret that now threatens to become her undoing. Raised Methodist, her sanity is partially tethered to playing the organ for St. Dominic’s Catholic Church and experiencing the loving friendship of its priests, although Lark admits, “The whole Mary thing unsettles me.” Lark spends most of her free time running a toll-free prayer line, 1-777-IPRAY4U. When Lark’s house burns to the ground, she is forced to seek refuge with her estranged mother, Leslie, and Leslie’s live-in housekeeper and Internet guru, Prisma Percy. Rounding out the household is Lark’s hip, artsy daughter, Flannery, a barista at Starbucks, whose sanity is the glue that holds her strange family together. The finely crafted, first-person narratives alternate among the four women, with a short ending chapter from Lark’s brother, Newly. Samson occasionally overwrites and is a little heavy on the dialogue, but her prose is mostly excellent, and the characters appealing and compelling. The centerpiece of the novel is its beautiful depiction of faith and fear that avoids canned Christian gospel presentation scenes but is clear in its message. With this offering, Samson places herself in the ranks of the CBA’s best novelists, with writing that has the potential to find a general readership as well.
