SUMMARY:Jane Willan Shares Widow’s Walk at Calendar House in Southington, CT
DESCRIPTION:“Some days the muse whispers; other days she rings the church bell at dawn—both get me writing.” – Jane Willan\nJoin author Jane Willan for an engaging book talk as she shares her writing journey—from crafting cozy mysteries to her upcoming novel Widow’s Walk at Calendar House in Southington, CT on August 20th. Hear behind-the-scenes stories, insights on faith and storytelling, and what inspires her beloved characters.\nBooks will be available for purchase at the event.\nFor more information, please visit Calendar House’s site here.\nAbout Widow’s Walk:\nA young widow, a small-town church, and one life-changing season of second chances.\nWhen Reverend Miranda McCurdy takes the pulpit at St. Gabriel-by-the-Sea, she’s ready to breathe new life into the quaint coastal church—but not everyone in the congregation is ready for change. Her push for progress clashes with the Thanksgiving committee’s insistence on outdated traditions, and tensions rise when a young, pregnant Honduran woman seeks sanctuary within the church walls. The response from her flock is not what Miranda hoped for—and it shakes her faith in both her calling and her community.\nBefore her husband’s death from ALS, Miranda was a celebrated head chef in Boston. Now, as a young widow navigating grief and spiritual doubt, she’s torn between two lives: the pulpit she’s struggling to hold onto, and a tempting offer to return to the culinary world in Seattle. When a lost dog and a charming stranger enter the picture, her path becomes even more uncertain.\nSet in the picturesque town of Sparrow, Maine, Widow’s Walk is a heartwarming, hopeful novel about community, courage, and the healing power of second chances—with a generous dash of humor, food, and unexpected grace.\nAbout Jane Willan:\nJane Willan is the author of the Sister Agatha and Father Selwyn Mystery series, cozy whodunits where faith, community, and murder intertwine. A pastor at Plantsville Congregational Church in Connecticut, Jane draws inspiration from her ministry and love of liturgical traditions. She holds degrees in Religion, History, Theology, and Biology, bringing depth and variety to her storytelling. Widow’s Walk, introduces Miranda McCurdy, a former chef turned priest navigating life and healing in the coastal town of Sparrow, Maine. When not writing or preaching, Jane enjoys New England’s beauty with her husband Don and their rescue dog, Ollie. Learn more at janewillan.com.\n
