RIDGEFIELD — Claudia Eggert Harrier announces her entry into the publishing scene with the release of “Sisters of Crescent Valley: Forget the Former Things” (published by WestBow Press), the story of two sisters on different paths with a distant relationship as they reconnect amid difficulties, thanks to faith and love.
Sisters Kristen and Jodie Peterson were close when they were young, but now they’re adults who have long since gone their separate ways. The lure of a promising career in the world of fashion has taken Kristen to New York City, while Jodie remains close to home in Crescent Valley, going to college and marrying Jason Igland.
But each of them faces a series of setbacks. Kristen’s New York dreams come crashing down, and she has returned to Crescent Valley to start over. And Jodie’s life turns upside down when Jason is in a terrible accident. As the sisters struggle with the challenges of life, they discover more about themselves and the changes that are coming. Are the concepts of hope, grace, restoration and contentment beyond their grasp? Can the sisters of Crescent Valley find themselves and each other again?
“This book shows how God intervenes in everyday life to bring hope, grace and forgiveness. It is a heart-warming easy read, which will stir the heart of its readers. It deals with the individual struggles that each character faces — some who need to experience grace and forgiveness and others who need to extend grace and forgiveness,” Harrier says. When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, she answered, “I desire that my readers will be inspired to take the next step in their individual relationships with God.”
