Information about the novels:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A Fresh Start in Fairhaven (from the back cover)Jim Shepherd is as surprised as anyone by the call to serve as bishop of the newly formed Fairhaven Ward. He's somehow pictured bishops as spiritual giants and inspired administrators, not as ordinary grocers with a pretty wife and three normal but rambunctious kids.Bishop Shepherd's immediate challenge is to bring together the diverse memberships of two wards that are being combined. In his new flock are Ida Lou Reams, the uncertain but warm-hearted relief Society president; Tashia Jones, an eleven-year-old black girl who comes alone to sacrament meeting; Roscoe Bainbridge, an older man dying of inoperable cancer; Ralph and Linda Jernigan, whose behavior would be humorous if it weren't so bizarre; and an assortment of other unforgettable characters, who all manage to find a place in Bishop Shepherd's heart.Mercies and Miracles (from the back cover)The folks in Fairhaven find themselves, along with the rest of the country, reeling in the aftermath of the September eleventh attacks. In spite of the impact on their hearts, most summon the courage to carry on with their lives. Bishop Jim Shepherd does his best to keep things on an even keel as he ministers to the varying needs of his ward members and tries to bring in from the fringes of Church activity a number of sheep who have wandered. But even his own daughter, Tiffani, suddenly seems to have ideas that don’t always mesh with her dad’s way of thinking. In book two of The Fairhaven Chronicles, author Sharon Downing Jarvis offers fascinating insight into the workings of a tiny LDS ward located in a small Alabama town, depicting through the eyes of the congenial and caring bishop the mercies and miracles that touch the lives of not only the Saints but also their neighbors.Through Cloud and Sunshine (from the back cover)"Bishop?" The voice was a little quavery; for a moment he couldn’t place it. "Yes? This is…?" "It’s Lula Rexford, Bishop. I’m so sorry to bother ya’ll on Christmas, but I’m really worried about T-Rex." "What’s wrong, Lula? Is he sick?" "He ain’t here, is the problem, and he said he’d be back three hours ago! He took his bike out for a spin – got him new do-dads for it, for Christmas, you know, and wanted to go ride, maybe show it off a little to a couple of friends. I’ve called all of them, and only one has seen him – and he left there about six-thirty." "Well, he’s a young man with a lot of friends – he might be anywhere. Maybe he got involved talking to somebody, or something. You know how it goes with guys." Lula Rexford’s worst fears are confirmed when T-Rex’s crumpled body is found on a lonely mountain trail in the snow. As he struggles for life, comatose in the hospital, the Fairhaven ward members unite their faith and share their service to help one of their own. Meanwhile, VerDan Winslow’s old girlfriend finds him in time to share a startling revelation that will change his family’s life, and the Shepherds navigate the tricky waters of prickly new neighbors and Tiffani’s first date. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shipping to U.S. addresses will by Media Mail (upgrade to Priority Mail available upon request and payment of extra cost).
