The Walkabout Scribe
Casa Flanigan Book One
Sometimes you have to lose your way to find what matters.
Grad student Priscilla Beaumont is hiding at a friend’s farm for the summer, pretending her life plan is working, but secretly she hates school, her planned career, and her whole life.
Then drifter Kincade McClanahan arrives, fresh from walking his mother through end-stage cancer, with no plan but to breathe the air, wander the world, and reset his tired soul. She thinks he’s crazy—and tells him that—but maybe he has something to teach her about living in the moment. It’s a lesson she doesn’t want to learn.
He wants to pretend he’s done grieving. She wants to pretend her plan is working. But when his trip is derailed by car trouble, and Priscilla is called to help at the expense of her plans, God may drag both of them on a new journey of loss and finding life again.
Check out the first book of the Casa Flanigan series, contemporary Christian romance on a farm where lost souls find their way.
Jill's Notes
- Kincade is 6’3″, which makes him the second-tallest character I’ve written. The tallest is Pete, at 6’4″, from the Snack Cake Chronicles’ Pete and the Water Tower.
- Priscilla is reconsidering her graduate Chemistry program. My college roommate, also a Chem major who changed fields, helped me think through Priscilla’s change. It was a fun reason to reconnect.
- If you’ve read the Boys of Summer or Girls Aglow series, you’ll realize many characters from those series, as they grew up, made their way here. You don’t have to read those to enjoy these.
- I have never been to the Grand Canyon, where these characters hope to end up. I would love to see it.
- Read the love story of Luke and Susan, who own the farm, in Girls Aglow’s Low Visibility.
- Read the love story of Shanna and Landon, who run the farm, in Girls Aglow’s Olden Days.
- Walkabout Scribe is in Kindle Unlimited.
