THE PRUNING

a Book Spotlight for Whispers in Purple

by author Jan Cline

Not everyone likes historical fiction. It’s just not in everyone’s realm of interests. In my case, I was raised to appreciate everything to do with American History. My repertoire, designed by my dad, was anything from a roadside marker to museums to a brand new set of encyclopedias. It stuck with me and when I started to write fiction as an adult, I naturally turned to the historical genre. I like writing from a Christian world view, so here I am, finishing up a series, American Dreams, which dates from 1935 to 1944.

 Book two is the latest release for this series and it’s titled The Pruning. Its story follows the Wilding family from book 1, Heaven’s Sky. Both books tell of the hardships our parents and grandparents endured during some of America’s most trying times. Not enough is said about these events in school history books, and I find many adults today don’t have a clear picture of the era. I love sharing the stories from the heart of the American experience.  

Here is a peek at The Pruning:

Clarissa Wilding can’t run away from her past. Moving from the drought-ridden Kansas plains to the green hills of the Pacific Northwest has only drawn her secrets to the surface, threatening the new life she has built with her husband, Frank, and their boys. When Frank introduces her to his brother, everything changes, and Clarissa must deal with new revelations that test their family bond and may forever alter their happiness.

This series is full of relationship challenges and authentic settings I think you’ll like.

One reviewer states: “Jan truly has a gift for storytelling. Her characters come to life on the page, and the setting becomes tangible wilt her descriptive narrative.”

Book 3 will be out by the end of 2019 and will wind up the series near the end of WW2. Join my email list for news about upcoming releases and receive a free short story. https://jancline.net
