GOLD MEDAL WINNER: Reader's Favorite International Book Award for Christian Romance. 

"Fresh dialogue, realistic characters, a powerful message. McCormick does a great job creating her characters and portraying the struggles they endure," The Romance Readers Connection.

How does a man pick up the pieces when his world crashes around him? Misplaced priorities shattered his marriage. Problems almost crushed him. Love motivated him to mend the damage, once he found all the pieces. 

After only a few months of marriage, Lorraine left Dylan on a wintry night after he'd spent one too many nights out with the guys. Unable to cope with the loss, Dylan escapes the painful feelings by drinking them away. This decision costs him a year-and-a-half of his life after he stops in a little mountain town and ends up in the local jail. When he's released, he returns home in search of a job to get his life--and his wife back. 

THE MISSING PIECE is not only a love story about a man who loves a woman, but is also a love story about a merciful God who loves mankind, even when he falls. The novel is an emotionally-charged journey of hope and redemption with a touch of spunk, a hint of humor, and a few twists along the way.

Her kids, however, take it as a chance to help her start over romantically. They soon realize it's easier to find someone to like their mother than it is to figure out which man is best for her.

To the delight of both kids, young and handsome cowboy Scott Boone makes his interest plain and starts courting Becky almost immediately. 

But Jack Anderson and Becky have been friends since childhood. When they're reunited years after their lives have taken very different paths, this lonely preacher begins to wonder if God has brought her back into his life for a reason. 

Pearce Morgan is a single parent raising his young daughter. Divorced and disillusioned, an unlikely friendship arises between him and Becky when his shy daughter decides she loves Becky and her kids.

Lonely Hearts, is a heartwarming story of second chances and choices, and includes an exclusive apple pie recipe!

Living Inside The Testimony is a collection of anecdotes compiled by author Betty Collier. In reading these stories, you will share in her journey and experience the inspiration, faith, hope, humor, romance, and love she experienced. The stories in Living Inside The Testimony revolve around Betty's experiences with her family, friends, and other individuals who have contributed, often unknowingly, to the path God has chosen for her. You will hear the story of how Betty fell in love at age fourteen (with her future husband), about her husband's near-death experience with emergency brain surgery at a young age, her experiences in New York a week prior to 9/11, and the frustrating ordeal she and her husband overcame when trying to build their dream home.

Betty attributes her success and her great love to God, and she shares with readers how God has orchestrated her life's path every step of the way. Betty's prayer is that you will see and feel Proverbs 3:5-6 come alive and speak to your heart as you take a walk with her, inside her testimony. She hopes you enjoy the journey and discover that we all live inside testimonies meant to be shared with others.

The 2011 Reader’s Favorite Silver Award Winner in Christian Romance


Faith is a tenured homemaker who loves her husband and children. She has endured many trials in her marriage, but none quite so difficult as the one she is about to experience. When she discovers her husband in the back seat of their family car with another woman, she turns to scripture for guidance and discovers, to her dismay, an obligation that is contrary to what the world prescribes. After her adult son suggests she keep a daily journal, she begins to record an adultery-spawned craziness that she never even dreamed could apply to any life, much less her previously loving marriage.

This book appears to be a heartbreaking tale of one woman’s futile struggle to spare her family from being torn apart by adultery. On a deeper level, it is much more. To the spiritually trained eye, it is also a strong example of mankind’s natural bent to reject unconditional love in favor of carnal desire, his self-interested disobedience to divine command and his own stubbornness being his ultimate undoing.

CAUTION: This is a love-it-or-hate-it read.
