About the Book

How does a person return to everyday life after spending almost a year behind bars? Nineteen-year-old Solomon Wuppertal throws himself into the new job his sister offers him as barista at Happenstance Bistro & Books.

But not everyone is pleased to see him return to town. His father is disappointed in him, the local gossip columnist spreads rumors, and secrets from his past haunt him. Besides interacting with customers, Sol must cope with cranky Morris Craddock, who runs the lending library in the same building.

When books go missing from Morris’s library and Sol is implicated, he decides to solve the mystery of the book thefts and stop the rampant rumors. As obstacles mount and self-doubt plagues him, Sol struggles to believe the truth and trust those willing to help him.

Will his determination be enough for him to move ahead and create a productive life in Happenstance? Will he succeed against all the odds?

About the Author
Janice L. Dick

Janice L. Dick began writing in 1989 after attending a workshop at the local library. Attendees formed a writing group that met for over sixteen years. Janice continued to learn through courses and conferences, and wrote a couple short stories and inspirational articles that were published in the local paper and in her denominational magazine. In 2001, she plunged into writing her first novel, completing the story with two sequels. The first two won first place in The Word Guild's Canadian Christian Writing Awards, and the third was shortlisted for the same award.

Besides a second historical trilogy, Janice also writes contemporary fiction, book reviews and blogs. She has written articles and short stories, devotionals and stories for children, and even a smattering of poetry.

Janice has edited a church history book, two chap books, a devotional volume, a women's event book, several children's books and an annual women's conference magazine, and has mentored other writers, formally and informally. She is a member of WritersInk, InScribe Christian Writers' Fellowship, American Christian Fiction Writers, The Word Guild and Saskatchewan Writers Guild.

Janice lives with her husband on a farm in east-central Saskatchewan. They have three grown, married children and eleven amazing grandchildren.
