Views from the Spectrum, by Ron Sandison, offers a remarkable inside look at the intersection of faith and autism for parents longing to connect their children with God’s love. As a thriving adult with autism himself, Ron Sandison is determined to educate the world on the gifts and talents autism can cultivate–even when they differ from our expectations of typical success.
Sharon Mondragón makes her debut with The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady, a “charming tale of knitting, faith, and change” (Publishers Weekly) that beautifully illustrates the power of women across generations to reach people for Christ.
Dusk’s Darkest Shores, by Carolyn Miller, is the first book in the new Regency Wallflowers series and follows Mary Bloomfield as she tries to help a returning war hero whose dreams have been plunged into darkness.
In Husband Auditions, by Angela Ruth Strong, Meri Newberg is tired of being single and decides to follow the advice of a 1950’s magazine on “ways to get a husband.” With droll comic timing, unbeatable chemistry, and a zany but relatable cast of characters, this novel offers a heartfelt look at the reality of modern Christian dating.
Amanda Wen’s Roots of Wood and Stone is a split-time novel that shows how our actions ripple for generations. Garrett Anderson is just looking to clean out his mother’s house, but the old diaries he finds will send historical museum curator Sloane Kelley on a heart-wrenching journey through the past.
Winners in each genre–along with Editor’s Choice Prize winners and Forewords INDIE Publisher of the Year–will be announced on Foreword’s website on June 16, 2022.
