Back in the writer's cave

So, I'm back in my writer's cave, working on rewrites for my upcoming novel, Chasing Hope. I'm really pleased with the way the story is going-- hopefully you will be, too. Check back for updates in the next few months (including a sneak peek at the gorgeous cover!)
Happy reading!

Library Journal Review

Thanks to everyone for making free download day such a success! 
Here's the latest review for Almost Amish. It appeared in the August 15th issue of Library Journal:


Almost Amish by Kathryn Cushman
August 1, 2012  |  Christian Fiction
9780764208263

Julie Charlton is thrilled when her sister-in-law Susan is chosen to participate in a reality-TV show about living like the Amish. Susan needs another family to join her, so Julie volunteers hers and they move near an Amish community in Tennessee. Soon, the cameras are rolling and Julie realizes that the simple life might be more complicated.

VERDICT Well-developed characters and a heartwarming story make Cushman's fifth novel an enjoyable read. Recommend it to fans of Fannie Flagg.


 I'm super excited about being compared to Fannie Flagg!!
