This is a Christian Contemporary Fiction book. Barb and Tom, owners of The Master's Inn, find themselves with families staying at the Inn having life issues and dealing with bad weather. The families have stop at the Inn because the snowstorm is too bad to travel. Each family is dealing with a crisis in their lives; death, anger, rebellious teenager, PTSD, failing marriage and a few more. The families befriend and start to share with each other, along with Barb and Tom having to find a way to share their faith. Soon, the teenager takes off into the storm and into the forest of Washington State. Will they be able to find her before it is too late? Will Barb and Tom be able to share their faith with these families? Will faith keep these families together?
I would recommend this to those that enjoy a book dealing with life issues and how faith can keep families together. This book is very true to life and how people are dealing with crisis issues everyday. If you want to read a book about families, faith and love, read this one.

More from Deb
One Sunday morning in 2012, I listened to our pastor give one of his excellent sermons.
I don’t remember what he said to spark this idea, but I grabbed my church bulletin and began scribbling furiously. By the time the service ended I had a rough outline, character sketches, and the opening scene written. And the title—The Master’s Inn. Some details, of course, changed over the years, but the title stayed the same.
The Master’s Inn was first birthed as a ninety minute play, which my church produced over one weekend in December of 2013. I wrote the play and directed it. I had an excellent cast of characters, plenty of folks lending a hand from technical details to the dinner we hosted for our guests. It was truly a team effort.
The Master’s Inn play was the first serious effort I’d ever made at writing. After it’s success, I began thinking about writing a book. Now, ten years later, I’ve written three creative non-fiction, devotional-style books and contributed to a Chicken Soup for the Soul volume.
During the process of publishing those first three books, the characters from The Master’s Inn pestered me day and night to put them in a novel. Who was I to argue?
And so, those characters got what they wanted. They are no longer confined to ninety minutes and one weekend of publicity. They’re now out there for the whole world to see.
The Master’s Inn is a novel of human brokenness and God’s still-unfolding drama of redemption . . .
