For you kindred cover spirits out there, I just had to post the lovely cover that was designed when he realized I had my heart set on a snow scene. Bless you, Brandon Hill! Since Wren’s story begins in autumn but quickly shifts to winter where the bulk of the novel takes place, I thought this cover would be perfect.
In Love’s Reckoning, Eden’s cover reflected fall, Ellie’s was set in spring, Wren’s would naturally be winter. But alas! I do love the final cover since the story opens in late summer or autumn and Wren looks pretty shivery in that snow scene in her lovely dress!
The working title for Wren’s story was originally Love’s Enduring.
Perhaps I shall save that for another story in future!
So now you know you know the rest of the story!

As much as I love the final cover, because my favorite season especially in Kentucky is fall, I think I love the snow cover even more.
Carissa, I was just looking at some fall photos of Kentucky and thinking you have some beautiful fall color coming up 🙂 But glad you like the snow scene, too I’ve heard that many readers don’t like winter scenes or covers – but guess they didn’t ask us!! Happy Friday to you!
Oh, wow! They’re both gorgeous, but that snow background… Sigh 🙂
Tamara! Thrilled to see you here, my friend! I’ve been lurking over at your site and am thrilled about your latest cover posts! Glad we share a mutual love of stunning book covers – and all that snow:) Have a wonderful weekend!

A joyful,blessed,and beautiful Fall day to you, Laura!!
Just checking to see if the blog is working again. Congrats on “Love’s Fortune” – such a beautiful cover, but hard to find the right words to describe the magnificence of the words between it!!
I love and cherish each of your books – for so many reasons, your masterful writing is in a category of it’s own. I never get enough and am saddened when each book comes to an end. Thank you for the inspiration provided by those lovable characters I’ve tucked away in my heart, but even more, the blessing of your precious friendship!!
I’ll always do my best to encourage,support,and pray for you – while also promoting/sharing God’s love via the gift of words He’s given you in your books. My church librarian is checking to see what books we may have of yours, any that we do not – I plan to purchase and donate. According to their online site, my local library has each of your books except “Love’s Fortune” – today I will call and ask if they have, or will, order it, and if not possible, will ask if I can donate a copy.
Joyfully anticipating your future releases – thank you for sharing your treasures, praying He blesses you for each word written!!
Bonnie, Lo and behold, the blog seems to be working again! Though I see the dates are still twilight zone-ish:) But truly, I don’t notice the dates as it’s the comments that count! Yours are no exception. I can’t thank you enough for contacting your library even after ordering the books yourself, etc. I’m about to put up a post about requesting from libraries. You just reminded me – thank you!
I hope today is a day of overflowing blessings for you!
Both covers are beautiful. I love the snow scene, but she does look a little cold! The covers are stunning. Probably some of the most stunning covers I have ever seen. They match the words within. And I am sure this book is not different. I just need to get my hands on it! 🙂
Emma, Come on over to Jennifer’s blog if you can – there’s a double giveaway going on:) Hope to see you there! http://talesfromtheredhead.blogspot.com/
And I’m beyond thrilled (Revell would be, too!) to know their covers hold that needed appeal. Cover art is just amazing and I never get tired of it. Another cover coming soon – and a new title, too!
I actually like the autumn cover best. It meshes well with the color of her dress. But having said that….Please, please, PLEASE save the beautiful snow cover for another book.
Dear Amy, Love your save the snow scene idea:) Ever since I was small, I’ve loved snow globes and it looks like Wren is caught up in one! But like you, glad the autumn cover won out, especially since LF opens in autumn. Happy Friday to you!
Laura, I absolutely LOVE all of your novels. In fact, I read the first three twice, each. My favorite is “Courting Morrow Little.” You have the most incredible gift for writing, so that every sentence is a treasure! I only wish you had a hundred books for me to read. I just finished “Love’s Fortune,” and I’m already chomping at the bit, waiting impatiently for the next one. Please write faster! I can say categorically that you are indeed my favorite author. Blessings on you, and thank you for the delicious pleasure of reading your novels.
Dear Diane! Welcome here:) And please pardon my late reply as I wrestle with WordPress here which is hiding comments from me! So, so appreciate you and your gracious words! I’m thrilled Morrow is your favorite – that means more than I can say. I had great joy in writing that book and am thrilled it gave you joy reading it! It’s such an honor being your favorite author, something I don’t take lightly! As I begin another novel, this one set in Kentucky, too, around the same time period as CML, I’ll keep you in mind and remember your words here. THANK YOU for being a reading kindred spirit. I can always tell those who are and you are certainly one of them!!
