In Kahl's first novel, The Bracelet, the poignant love story of the characters unfolds through the captivating performance of a song, the gift of a bracelet, and the unexpected journey to faith that results. What's next? For Lauren Harrison, who has just fulfilled an improbable dream by marrying a pop star, that is very much the question. In The Touchstone, as Chance's career blossoms, the couple is faced with life-changing decisions about the direction their path will take. What will it require to make a relationship work when fans, managers, tabloids, and talk shows have to be factored in? They travel to places near and far, encountering new challenges and turns that take them down unexpected roads. Along the way, they discover joy, heartbreak, and clarity, redefining what commitment means. The extraordinary way in which these challenges are handled will keep you turning page after page. Maureen Kahl's love of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, music, nature, and the touching words she received through cards and e-mails following publication of her first novel inspired her to continue the story of Chance and Lauren Harrison. Maureen lives on the eastern plains in Fort Morgan, Colorado with her husband, Rick. 'The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever-do not abandon the works of Your hands.' Psalm 138:8
