Jericho Book Three to be Released in July 2017
Return to Jericho, a sleepy town in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia where life is anything but dull. Join Maddie and Syd as they struggle to find a new normal without their foster child, Henry Lawrence, who now is fighting his own battles after being reunited with his disabled veteran father.
As Henry befriends Dorothy, a young girl wrestling with her own family demons, David struggles with Michael’s growing passion for slinging hash in a local soul food restaurant.
And, while Nurse Practitioner Lizzie Mayes and boyfriend Tom Murphy come to a crossroads in their relationship, ninety-year-old, Yankee-hating Azalea is hired as a beta tester for Grand Theft Auto VI.
Of course, Maddie’s patrician mother, Celine, retires to Jericho and becomes uncomfortably attracted to a much younger man; and the irrepressible Roma Jean Freemantle struggles to pilot an unwieldy bookmobile and her growing attraction to another woman.
Throughout it all, life and love in this endearing community take as many twists and turns as a winding mountain road—but hope and the human spirit glow as brilliantly as goldenrod in the autumn sun.

Please, tell me that there will be a fourth book in the series!! Loved the series from the start of the first book to the very end of the third one. Thanks for a beautiful story!
I cannot wait!!!! February seems so far away. Love this series.
Cannot wait! I just re-read Jericho (twice in the last fortnight for a total of probably about 10 times) and Aftermath. I fell in love with these characters the first time I read Jericho – not just Maddie and Syd, but all the rest as well, and I am so looking forward to following their story forward.
I am thrilled to hear we fans of Maddie & Syd will soon be transported back to Jerico. My only disappointment is I’ll have to wait till 2017. But when in 2017?!
I’ve been waiting for book 3 for what seems like forever. Now that I’ve read the preview, I am even more excited to read it!!
