Visit the Wonderful City of San Francisco! San Francisco by Kristin Billerbeck



I love visiting any city in California.  Kristin Billerbeck shared city she knows well San Francisco.

Synopsis:                                                                                                               

San Francisco: Meet My Sister, Tess/The Landlord Takes a Bride/Grace in Action/An Unbreakable Hope (Heartsong Novella Collection)
Grace has been on her own since son Josh has entered her life.  One day Josh mentions that he has made a new friend at school in fireman Mike.  Grace has her doubts about this relationship and feels that Mike might be intruding in their lives.  Should Grace change her mind about Mike and let God take control?

Stefani Willems believes she knows her path and what her goals are.  She is close to getting the house and reclaiming her family’s land.  When the deal for the house and land does not go as planned will she have room in her heart for the new owner?

Tess has been caring for her brother Robby since their mother passed away.   She believes that her plan to marry her fiancé Clark is all set, and nothing should change it.  Enter Greg the new social worker who challenges everything that Tess believes about her future and what is best for Robby.

Emily was Josh’s teacher and fireman Mike’s ex-girlfriend in the first story but is there really a love story for her?  Emily meets this man Darin at a mutual friend’s wedding.   Darin is different from any man that she has ever met or her mother would approve of.  Darin is new in his beliefs in Christ.   What future does their relationship have?

My Thoughts:

I am quite the fan of Kristin Billerbeck’s work.  I liked this novel.  The stories were well plotted and have interesting characters.   I was surprised with strong the female lead characters are.  These men had a hard time cracking the independence of these women.  I found it hard to read about the situations that these women found themselves in.  While this might be difficult I did want to see how it turned out.

Kristin is always busy with her writing but would love to hear from you.  You can visit on Facebook, her website, and twitter.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
