Learning to Fly: New mom, Susan Schaffer, looks down at her newborn daughter, Lily, and wonders if she has what it takes to be a mom. Each stage seems to bring a new challenge and Susan is filled with doubt. A chance meeting with former classmate, JoJo Nash, also a new mom, gives the two mothers a friendship to help each other, and their daughters, learn and grow. As the girls approach high school graduation their mothers are faced with the question: Are the girls ready to ‘fly’ on their own? Are the mom's ready to let them?

Learning to Fly is a novel about living, loving and letting go.

Andrea Sisco of Armchair Interviews.com writes: “All the self-help books or parenting classes in the world will not score a direct hit like Henke’s message...a must read for all mothers and mothers-to-be.”


		*The Secret of Us*: When Laura Dunn repeated her wedding vows twenty-three years ago, she meant them with all her heart…but back then she had no idea that young love could fade into middle-aged indifference. Somewhere along the way love didn't so much die, as it was simply smothered by the everyday-realities of life. Is it possible to fall in love again? Is a promise enough to carry her through the remaining years? Or is there a new life waiting for her on the other-side of marriage?

Welcome to Brewster, the fictional little town that's not so different from yours... wherever you might live. Between the pages of my books you will find people like you. People with families, friends and problems that might be quite similar to yours. And, just maybe, you'll find laughter, lessons, and inspiration, as well. After all, no matter where we live, we aren't so different after all.

After Anne, the first book in the Coming Home to Brewster series is about the friendship between two women. Olivia is having a crisis with her children; Anne has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Read this book and discover what friendship really means. As one reader wrote, "I laughed. I cried. I loved it!"

Finding Ruth, the second book in the series is about the search for contentment when you want something "more" in your life. Ruthie Hammond has been stuck in dinky Brewster her whole life, dreaming of living anywhere bigger. Will she ever realize that God can dream even bigger than she can? A reader e-mailed, "Please, tell me there really is such a place as Brewster. I want to live there!"

Becoming Olivia continues Libby's story from the end of After Anne. A cloud of despair is darkening what should be the good years of Olivia's life. This story about clinical depression and anxiety offers real-life answers and inspiration…and is not depressing. Promise! Learn along with Libby as she searches to find her measure of joy.

Always Jan, is an uplifting story about aging that will have you smiling in recognition as you learn, along with the characters, that getting older may hold many surprising gifts. An early reader of this story said, “My spirit soared!”

With Love, Libby, completes the Coming Home to Brewster series…sigh. I truly hope you enjoy this story about finding a unique purpose in life. Here’s what my editor had to say about this final book: “What an achievement! A truly excellent grand finale!"

Watch for something new in 2009!

Wishing you good books…and time to read them!
