Publisher's summary
Travel to a world where love stories unfold, shattered dreams are rebuilt, and a memorable cast of characters live out and grow in their Christian faith. The brand new Rachel Marie series takes you far away to Bangkok Christian School where rookie teacher Rachel Marie finds herself intrigued by the winsome Vice Principal Kuhn Khemkaeng, a nominal Buddhist. She’s being simultaneously wooed by expatriate Nigel Blaine, a TV journalist dripping with decidedly secular charm.
Book 1 mingles moonlight kisses with a desperate ride to the ER and keeps listeners guessing to the very end. Seasoned fiction writer David B. Smith (Bucky Stone Adventures) crafts pause register dramatic tales marked by a gracious yet robust Christian element and grace-bathed Bible truth. His childhood years as a missionary kid in downtown Bangkok give his stories a gritty charm; one reviewer writes: “You can almost smell the spicy cooking!” He is a math professor at San Bernardino Valley College; he and his wife Lisa have two daughters and four grandkids.

Dr. Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two people - of the same age, with the same faith, living in the same small Pennsylvania town - could possibly be. She's a first-class neatnik; he's a world-class slob. She's into saving historical relics; he's into saving souls. But perhaps opposites do attract. For when this historian and this land developer meet, sparks fly. And despite the rather inauspicious beginning to their relationship, neither one will escape unchanged - or unsmitten!

Dr. Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two people - of the same age, with the same faith, living in the same small Pennsylvania town - could possibly be. She's a first-class neatnik; he's a world-class slob. She's into saving historical relics; he's into saving souls. But perhaps opposites do attract. For when this historian and this land developer meet, sparks fly. And despite the rather inauspicious beginning to their relationship, neither one will escape unchanged - or unsmitten!

Samantha Owens' estranged stepfather has died, leaving her his cottage in Nantucket - a place she fled years ago, never planning to return. As a single mom, Samantha can't afford to pass up a financial windfall like oceanfront property. So she travels home to fix up the house and sell it...never suspecting that Landon Reed still lives two doors down. As their long-dormant romance begins to bud again, Samantha must face a past that separated her from the God of her childhood. And she must tell Landon why she fled the island in the first place - a secret that could tear them apart.

Lone Stars follows the arc of four generations of a Texan family in a changing America. Julian Warner, a father at last, wrestles with a question his husband posed: what will you tell our son about the people you came from, now that they're gone? Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.

This is a must read book! Very Captivating!
I loved this book. David B. Smith is a great story teller and the performance by Tonya Foster Yancy was superb! The story of Missy Stone was so interesting, I couldn't wait each day to listen during my commute.

Great story
I really appreciated David Smith’s way of grabbing your attention and keeping you engaged all throughout. It was an honest portrayal of what a young adult who is traversing life’s difficulties will face. The morals and way the sweet relationship in the story resonated with me very much. Im looking forward to what happens next!
