But the van wouldn’t start.
Oh no.
Ten minutes to rehearsal. She had to drive all the way up Ocean to the Sea Islands Symphony Orchestra studios for the string rehearsal. It would take more than ten minutes to get there.
Oh, she should’ve left sooner. If she kept showing up late, she was going to get fired from SISO, even if they needed her as the music librarian. She had to keep her apartment. No way was she going to live in her van again.
She tried to crank the engine one more time.
No go.
Poor old van!
Emmeline speed-dialed her friend. “Skye! Have you left? Good! I need a ride. My van has died!”

SEASIDE CHAPEL
Book 1: Share with Me
Book 2: Step with Me
Book 3: Sing with Me
The novels of Seaside Chapel blend flavors of inspirational women’s fiction with contemporary Christian romance to celebrate the grace of God and hope in Jesus Christ.
Visit Jan’s favorite beach town of St. Simon’s Island, Georgia, where our friends live and attend Seaside Chapel, a little church by the sea known for its beach weddings and fair shares of love and life.
As these Christian men go through the Seaside Chapel Men’s Bible Study to grow in their knowledge and understanding of God, they are tested in their spiritual maturity, their relationships with others, and their love lives. Share their heartaches and healing, and cheer them on as they celebrate faith, family, friends, and yes, happily-ever-afters.
The Seaside Chapel novels are all about life by the Atlantic Ocean, which in essence, is not much different from life in landlocked cities. Inherently, the human nature is such that we have in our hearts a need for the Lord, for His salvation, sustenance, and sanctification.
