Looking Out the Window: Lisa Lickel Talks about The Last Detail, Gives Away a Copy and Shares a Great Cold-Weather Recipe

      A Warm Welcome to Lisa Lickel! Lisa’s latest novel is The Last Detail , released in January 2014 from the Prism Book Group. About the book: Hope, love, and loss meld two polar opposite personalities. How long can they keep passion for their ministry and each other after the wedding? Medical missionary and avowed bachelor Merit Campbell is wounded during a skirmish at his Mideast clinic and sent home to recover. Restlessness propels him to explore the happier moments of his childhood in Illinois where he meets Amalia Kennedy, owner of The Last Detail, who enjoys helping people prepare for their final years. Merit ushers in new life; Amalia ushers it out. Love? Obviously. Marriage? Check. Dealing with the family closet?

THE SILENT CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS!                                 MERRY CHRISTMAS !                          MERRY CHRISTMAS!                                                                MERRY CHRISTMAS!        MERRY CHRISTMAS! This year's Christmas reminds me of an exciting, wonderful movie on the television with the sound turned off. I walk into a mall, and with the exception of my local Sears store, there's no indication that it's anything except an ordinary day. I purchase a gift and the clerk says, "Thank you. Have a nice day." I want to scream. "This is a Christmas present. I'm buying it because it's Christmas!" I know the clerks are doing what they've been told, so I don't. There are throngs of people waiting in line to buy gifts in their stores. It doesn't look like an ordinary day. Who told them it was? Why?
