ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
C D Swanson writes from the heart, as evidenced in every book she’s produced. Employed primarily as a director in the nursing home industry, she’s also always felt a passion for writing. It wasn’t until four years ago that she started an online writing devotional/ministry, that she discovered an additional calling. “To share the love of God, and His words, is the very pulse of my heartbeat, and it is to Him, that all honor and glory belong,” says Swanson. C D Swanson is happily married to her childhood sweetheart, and they have “one boy” named Max.
Jesus Eternal Friend & Savior
Jesus Christ, our Savior, the Messiah, the King of kings and Lord of lords. He came looking for us, and we love Him because He loved us first. The only begotten Son of God, our salvation and our eternal friend.
Faded Memories Anew

With a grief-stricken heart, he attempts to “live” again, while holding onto memories of his one true love. Relocating to another state to accept a new job, he slowly adjusts to life without his wife. He struggles with guilt when he begins to experience feelings for his co-worker Kiana, who has suffered an equally devastating loss. Together, they navigate through uncharted waters, each with their own story and “ghosts” to deal with. Their story builds slowly culminating into an explosive and powerful climax.
