[...] Beneath the Night Tree by Nicole Baart is the third book in a series following Julia, an orphaned adolescent turned college student turned single mom. I was excited to discover Nicole’s writing when I was in college, because it’s simple and engaging and, in my humble opinion, a notch above a lot of other Christian fiction. [...]

I forgot to mention Beth Webb Hart in my favorite Christian authors list. I think you would like her book Adelaide Piper.

I started Francine Rivers’ Redeeming Love – it’s definitely PG-13 material, but from the little I’ve read, the concept of the book is amazing. But I’ve decided to just let it sit on my shelf for a few years and read it when I’m a little older

I am a huge fan of Lynn Austin – I’ve read almost all of her books (though not the one you mentioned – I’ll have to check into it!) and I LOVE her writing style.

I have read one of Ann Tatlock’s books – All The Way Home – I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So, my favorite authors – Lynn Austin, Beverly Lewis, and Janette Oke (although I really don’t enjoy her writing style – it’s somewhat bland and boring – I enjoy the storylines). I try to be careful with Christian fiction (sometimes it can be very borderline) – but I definitely enjoy reading the books by these authors!

A book I just finished – and found to be SO good and so well -written, is When Crickets Cry, by Charles Martin. Such an enjoyable read, though hard and sad at times, but with such hope and breath and life!

I also have enjoyed Lynn Austin and Francine Rivers (Leota’s Garden is my favorite). Some other authors I’ve enjoyed over the past couple of years are W. Dale Cramer (Levi’s Will and Summer of Light) Charles Martin (Chasing Fireflies), and Nancy Rue (Tristan’s Gap). I really can’t stomach the predictable and repetitive.

I guess I didn’t notice that you mentioned contemporary fiction! Sorry!
