Lenora Calderon wanted to design a prayer garden on an old urban lot that belonged to a local church. When she did, everything changed… Quiet Place Gardens, five Christian novels about healing, friendship, romance, the beautiful craziness of church culture, and the unifying power of love. Oh yeah, and prayer gardens. Lots of prayer gardens.

Jill's Notes

  • When this series was stirring, I hesitated. To put a series in the center of a church… Everyone’s church experience is different, and I wasn’t going to sugarcoat it. Church people can be… difficult? Was I not asking for trouble? God said to write it anyway. Be honest, be loving, and write the series.
  • I’m writing the series.
  • This is a series of five with an overarching story. So, while each book has a definite end, some questions don’t get answered until further in. Relax and enjoy the ride.
  • The Calderon siblings at the center of the story came from the St. Ninian’s series. Never read it? That’s fine. I was careful to make sure this series stands on its own. 
  • But if you’re curious, their story is in Into the Fortress.
