About the Author:

Hi, my name is Joan Deppa.  My husband and I have been in church ministry for over 30 years and have counseled many hurting people. I have always loved to read and now write inspirational fiction, sharing God's love, forgiveness, wisdom and ability to change lives yielded to Him in a way that people can relate to.  My hope is that my readers will find true joy, guidance and forgiveness in Christ from their past and present challenges in life. We have four adult children, eleven grandchildren and have lived mostly in the Midwest.  We enjoy seeing all the beauty of God's creation wherever we are.  I am a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers.

Ø   My books are for women who enjoy a fun-read, contemporary and inspirational romance novels. They are available in hardcover, softcover or eBooks and published by Westbow Press, a division of Thomas Nelson/Zondervan Publishing.

Seasons of Love Series:  This series takes place in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where we lived for 14 years.  It is a 3-part series that highlights some of the special sights and activities that we enjoyed in this beautiful area, with characters that readers can relate to.  But it also brings out how, through Christ, we can deal with the challenges of life, as well as issues from our past that keep us chained to our anger and bitterness, our fears of rejection, and the high expectations that others, as well as we ourselves, place upon us.  The books can be read separately, but are best in the order of the series.

Background of Book 1:  This book was inspired by some of my dad’s past, my family, as well as my husband’s salvation experience and our courtship and wedding.  It introduces you to Bonnie and Brad, to the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the journey to finding true joy and peace in a life that is filled with anger and bitterness from one’s past.

Summary of Whiter than Snow, Seasons of Love #1

Bonnie Turner has recently moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and is enamored by its beauty in the winter time.  While enjoying the beauty, Brad Jorgenson “bumps” into her and takes it upon himself to show her the sights and how to enjoy winter in the Upper Peninsula.  But will Bonnie be able to show Brad how to release the anger and bitterness he’s carried since childhood and introduce him to the Creator of the beauty he enjoys?  Can God’s love and forgiveness really make him, “whiter than snow?”  Ps. 51:7 

Reviews by my Readers:

 “Whiter than Snow was written with enough detail to enable me to feel like I was right there with the characters in their emotions and their surroundings in the UP. Brad and Bonnie had to deal with real life struggles that could make or break their relationships. It is a gentle, pleasant read that shows you can overcome your past hurts and build a healthy relationship.”

"Sweet, graceful and engaging, I found Whiter than Snow, by author Joan Deppa, to be an inspirational read with a gorgeous book cover.”

 “Perfect for any snowy day with a cup of warm cocoa! Highly recommend!!”
