A Clearing in the Wild
Spirited young Emma Wagner chafes at the constraints of her 1850s religious community, which values conformity over independent thought, especially in women. Skeptical of the colony’s growing emphasis on preparing for “the last days,” Emma clashes with their increasingly autocratic leader—and faces the unexpected consequences of pursuing independence.
A Tendering in the Storm
This lyrical novel, based on an historical figure of the 1800s, follows the spirited and intelligent Emma Giesy, who achieves her goal of separating her family from the repressive religious community in which she grew up. But unexpected and dire consequences leave her family—and her faith—struggling to survive.
A Mending at the Edge
This richly textured novel, the third in the acclaimed Change and Cherish series, follows the historical figure of Emma Wagner Giesy, who chafes under the restrictions of her 1860s religious colony. When her bid to belong in her unique way unravels her most precious relationships, she seeks new ways to stitch meaning into her life.



Thanks, Becky, for posting the three books in the series. I hope your readers will have a chance to read them, or maybe just one. Emma was a fascinating woman to fictionalize and I learned much about living in community through her trials and sometimes poor decisions. Keep up the good work of letting readers know about the power of story in our lives. Warmly, Jane Kirkpatrick, Author.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Jane Kirkpatrick's books in her latest series. We both belong to Women Writing the West, where we all appreciate Jane's talented writing.
Her stories, her research, her writing, all are impeccable.
