New Book Cover!

Home » Reading » New Book Cover!

In: Reading, Uncategorized on: January 21, 2013

I’m so excited to reveal my next book cover! It’s a different look than the other two book covers, but I think it really captures the feel of this story.

A Home for My Heart releases in the fall of 2013. Here is the catalog copy:

Sadie Sillsby works as the assistant to the matron at the Raystown Home for Orphan and Friendless Children and dreams of the day she’ll marry her beau, Blaine. But when the matron surprises everyone by announcing her own engagement, Sadie is suddenly next in line for the job. For a young woman who was once an orphan herself, a shot at such an esteemed position is a wish come true.

But the matron of the Home cannot be married. Is Sadie willing to give up her dreams of a life with Blaine and a family of her own? Is she prepared to forego daily involvement with the children as she manages the finances and logistics of the ministry? And when it’s revealed that the Home is spending a lot more money than it’s taking in, can Sadie turn things around before the place is forced to close forever?

 

So what do you think? Does it look like a book you’d pick up off the shelf?

    Hello Ms. Mateer,
    Dan Thornberg purchased the dress the adult Female is wearing on your lovely cover! He told me it was colored Blue from the original white. It looks so beautiful.

    I am so honored you chose the dress for your cover!

    I look forward to reading your book when it comes out.

    I wish you much success!

    Warmest Regards,
    Susan Marzan

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”
