Valerie Bishop’s life was shattered the night her husband died, but the man who begins to fill the empty place in her heart holds the key to a buried memory that could destroy her all over again. If their love is to survive, they must each confront the fears imprisoning them and trust in God’s healing mercy. Finalist, 2010 ACFW Carol Award (Short Contemporary Romance). Unpublished awards: 2004 ACRW Noble Theme; Winner, 2005 RWA Golden Heart Best Inspirational Romance.

What readers are saying . . .


“Great characters, wonderful story, good conflict. Once again Myra Johnson has created a story of moving on, of forgiveness, of "now" in her warm, evocative style.” —Ruth Logan Herne, Goodreads review


“Autumn Rains was no lightweight fluff piece. Despite the slim size, Myra Johnson had a great deal to say, and said it in a way that flowed with a genuinely good story and three dimensional, even flawed characters. And the result is deeply satisfying. . . . Johnson hooked me and kept reeling me in. . . . I felt connected to each of the main characters in their believable journey toward wholeness and romance. The epilogue was a highlight for me, as the story came full circle and showed the difference a person can make, no matter his or her past. Beautiful and inspiring.” —Kathleen L., Goodreads review


“I love Myra Johnson's work. She got some much HEART into this little romance. I was so in love with her characters I wasn't ready for it to end.” —Mary Connealy, Goodreads review


“From the time I picked up AUTUMN RAINS, I almost couldn’t put it down! . . . I appreciated the biblical way each character worked through their very difficult life issues, plus the way each of them turned their healing into an avenue for helping others, including each other. . . . Thank you for this inspiring book! I’d like to read more books by Myra Johnson!” —KK

“Carefully crafted characters with definite flaws and human struggles set the tone for this endearing love story about forgiveness, hope and letting go in order to grab onto something even greater.” —Kav, Best Reads


“I enjoyed this sweet romance and the delightful way Ms. Johnson created a hero out of an ex-con. And the ending? Sure to leave you with an "ahhh!" Oh, and I love how the author weaves the title, Autumn Rains, into the story. A book full of healing, redemption, and forgiveness!”—excerpted from ChristianBook.com review of Gateway Weddings
