Christian Fiction

Christian fiction must do more then tell a good story, it needs to uplift one's faith as well.

Reflections of a Quiet Storm

by Patricia Bridewell

Pauline Bridges, CEO of her own company, survives a near near fatal accident. Shortly thereafter, God begins to reveal a turbulent past of rape,a marriage that succumbs to her ex-husband’s drug and alcohol abuse, and more, through dreams and flashbacks. Her faith in God remains steadfast as she unravels the cause of her pain, finds new love, and supports her children and a close friend through their crises.

About the author:

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am a writer, adjunct college professor, mental health nurse, and mother of two. Approximately four years ago I started journaling as a form of therapy. Writing a novel was a gift from God--not something I had planned to do. While sitting in front of my computer one day, perusing my notes, I developed my first novel, "Reflections of a Quiet Storm." After writing 9 chapters, I stuffed the manuscript in a drawer and it stayed there for six months. The story, based on some of my true life experiences, strummed too many painful chords--loud and clear. Through the Lord's passionate guidance and blessings, I completed the manuscript and submitted it to two publishers. Jessica Tilles, Chief Editor and owner of XYP, published the novel in March 2009.
