Which is a great 88% from the digital list price of $7.99.

With all of the bargain ebooks that I run across, for me to post a particular book means that I have seen something in it that is special, or different from, the rest.

In the case of this book, it is the fact that it is a novel. Now that is not unusual for co-author Sally John, as she has written a dozen or more of them. What is surprising is that along with her name in the byline of this book, there is the name of Gary Smalley. Dr. Smalley has written over 60 books but, to my knowledge, the only genre of books that Dr. Smalley has authored before have been non-fiction.

Dr. Smalley deals in this book with the same theme as most, if not all, of his previous works, however--relationships such as those in the family. This ebook deals specifically with marriage. In common with his previous writings, too, is the fact, it seems, that he tries to help the relationship by the things that he writes.

Expect this book to be faith-based, as Dr. Smalley is an avowed Christian and the book comes from HarperCollins Christian Publishing. However, references to Christianity appear to be minimal in this book.

A Time to Mend: Safe Harbors Book One. By Sally John; Gary Smalley. Rated 4.4 stars, but from only 10 reviews, at Amazon at the present moment; it's rated 3.82, from 210 ratings, at GoodReads. Print list price $14.99; digital list(?) price $7.99; Kindle price now $0.99. HarperCollins Christian Publishing, publisher. 401 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Time-Mend-Safe...rbors+Book+One.

Book Description
An unopened gift. A broken vow. A tragic fire. Sometimes there are wounds that even time can't heal.

Max and Claire Beaumont seem to have the perfect marriage. They live in a beautiful home, have four wonderful children and everything else that success and money can buy. Yet beneath this picture-perfect exterior, Claire's life is falling apart. She can no longer hold her peace and keep up appearances.

After all the silent years, she must speak the truth.

As their lives unravel, deep needs and even deeper hurts are revealed. Not only the wounds between husband and wife, but family wounds as well. Will this time of soul-searching and conflict bring them closer together--or tear their marriage apart?

It's a strange irony to leave home in search of a safe harbor. Yet that is often where the journey begins . . . especially when it is time to mend.

A Time to Mend is the first novel in the Safe Harbor series. Drawing on the insights of best-selling marriage expert Gary Smalley, the series explores the joys and struggles of marriage, family, and faith.
