SUMMARY:Jane Willan Brings Widow’s Walk to RJ Julia in Middletown, CT
DESCRIPTION:“In Widow’s Walk, I wanted to explore how grace and grit intertwine in a small coastal town—where secrets rise like the tide and redemption waits just offshore.” – Jane Willan\nJoin author Jane Willan at RJ Julia Booksellers on October 30 at 6pm for a lively conversation and signing of her new novel Widow’s Walk. This heartfelt and humorous women’s fiction debut follows Reverend Miranda McCurdy as she uncovers unexpected grace—and a few secrets—in her close-knit seaside town. Don’t miss an evening of community, storytelling, and celebration.\nEVENT ADDRESS:\n413 Main Street\nMiddletown, CT  06457\nBooks will be available to purchase at the event.\nFor more information, please visit RJ Julia’s website here.\n\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 Her push for progress clashes with the Thanksgiving committee’s insistence on outdated traditions, and tensions rise when a young, pregnant Honduran woman seeks sanctuary within the church walls.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
