The secret a mother was forbidden to share . . . the consequences a daughter could not redeem—but will risk everything in her attempt.
About the Book: All her life, Hannah Sterling longed for a close relationship with her estranged mother. Following Lieselotte’s death, Hannah unlocks secrets of her mother’s mysterious past, including the discovery of a grandfather living in Germany.
Thirty years earlier, Lieselotte’s father, ascending the ranks of the Nazi party, demands a marriage for his daughter to help advance his career. But Lieselotte is in love—and her beloved Lukas secretly works against the Reich. How far will her father go to achieve his goal?
Both Hannah’s and Lieselotte’s stories unfold as Hannah travels to Germany to meet her grandfather, who hides wartime secrets of his own. Longing for connection, yet shaken by all she uncovers, Hannah must decide if she can atone for her family’s tragic past, and how their legacy will shape her future.

Until We Find Home E-Book Special June 6 – 10!
June 6 – 10 Until We Find Home is on sale in E-Book form for $2.99 from your favorite E-Book Vendor! Join me during the tumultuous years of WWII in England’s breathtaking Lake District, home to Beatrix Potter at Hill Top Farm. I’d love to meet you there for tea and scones!
Here is the what you’ll find in the story:
For American Claire Stewart, joining the French Resistance sounded as romantic as the storylines she hopes will one day grace the novels she wants to write. But when she finds herself stranded on English shores, with five French Jewish children she smuggled across the channel before Nazis stormed Paris, reality feels more akin to fear.
With nowhere to go, Claire throws herself on the mercy of an estranged aunt, begging Lady Miranda Langford to take the children into her magnificent estate. Heavily weighted with grief of her own, Miranda reluctantly agrees . . . if Claire will stay to help. Though desperate to return to France and the man she loves, Claire has few options. But her tumultuous upbringing—spent in the refuge of novels with fictional friends—has ill-prepared her for the daily dramas of raising children, or for the way David Campbell, a fellow American boarder, challenges her notions of love. Nor could she foresee how the tentacles of war will invade their quiet haven, threatening all who have come to call Bluebell Wood home and risking the only family she’s ever known.
Set in England’s lush and storied Lake District in the early days of World War II, and featuring cameos from beloved literary icons Beatrix Potter and C. S. Lewis, Until We Find Home is an unforgettable portrait of life on the British home front, challenging us to remember that bravery and family come in many forms.
I hope you enjoy Until We Find Home. Walking the Lake District with my friend and sister author, Carrie Turansky, for research of this book was a joyful journey I will long remember. I hope that one day you’ll be able to visit that lovely land as well.
Until next time, take care, God bless, and happy reading!

A Secret Bloom: Unveiling the Cover of This Promised Land
Do you want to know a secret? Before this is revealed to the public, I want to share with you the cover of my next book, This Promised Land.
Designed by Libby Dykstra of Tyndale House Publishers, this stunning cover beautifully represents two of the main characters in This Promised Land—sixty-five-year-old Ginny Dee, and her feisty great-niece, Arlo, who turns ten—double digits—during the story. Here is a summary of the book:
When she ran away as a young war bride, she was cut off from her family forever . . . or so she believed. Decades later, maybe the only way to move on is to go home.
Ginny Pickering Boyden can’t wait for her last day of work, when she’ll be free to pursue a lifelong ambition through a master gardener apprenticeship. But an unexpected letter brings shocking news: Ginny has inherited her family’s Christmas tree farm, a dream she’d given up fifty years before.
Facing a past laced with memories and lies she’s tried hard to bury, a furious nephew who thought the land would be his, and a failing farm with a mountain of debt, Ginny returns to New Scrivelsby, determined to sell. But when her younger nephew, a Vietnam vet, appears with demons of his own and three young children in tow, Ginny isn’t sure what to do. Too much of their story reminds Ginny of her own. But she also has little hope that three generations of warring Pickerings can set aside their differences to restore all that’s broken, both on the land and in their hearts.
Set against the beautiful and rugged landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains, This Promised Land is the story of a daughter’s longing to make sense of the past and of the unbreakable bonds that bring prodigals home.
I can hardly wait to share this story with you. You’ll find a great deal of my heart within its pages. The book is set to release April 2025, so we do have a bit of a wait. It will be available for pre-order before then. I’ll keep you posted.
One of the dearly loved themes in this book is gardens. This spring, with so much rain, my gardens are bursting with the new growth of vegetables, fruits, and flowers—both cultivated and wild.
Many of my iris beauties came from my dear friend and literary agent, Natasha Kern. The deep purple one came from my brother, David Lounsbury.
I planted this lovely Cozy Teacups Dogwood tree this spring in memory of my mother. This Mother’s Day was our first without her.
My garden’s roses, peonies, hydrangeas, daisies, clematis, and other plants are each designated to honor or are planted in memory of loved ones. I pray for those dear ones and thank God for them each time I tend their flowers, so it truly is a prayer garden. Little wonder that my love of trees and flowers, cultivated and wild, spills over into my books!
My seven-year-old granddaughter recently asked, “Grandma, why do you love gardening so much?”
And though I’d not thought it through before, I told her, “Because I feel so close to God when I garden. God began life on earth in a garden and I feel that I’m working with Him when I work among fruits and flowers and the songs of His birds. It brings me great joy—joy that I can share with others.”
I hope you’re enjoying a lovely spring wherever you nest, and that you find time to enjoy “all things bright and beautiful.”
Until next time, happy reading, and God’s rich blessings for you,
Cathy

I’m thrilled to bring Ladies of the Lake to you! This is a story of four girls who grow into women vowing friendship for life—friendship, in all its strength and beauty and fragility. It’s a story that demonstrates the need to belong, to be understood, loved, and valued for who we are. It’s a story about our desperate need to give and receive forgiveness, even when we don’t believe we deserve it. If you grew up loving Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women or Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables and Prince Edward Island—I think you’ll find yourself happily lost in the pages of Ladies of the Lake.
In my story, four girls from very different backgrounds—Canadian and American—find themselves at Lakeside Ladies Academy, a Connecticut boarding school modeled after Miss Porter’s School in Farmington, Connecticut. Miss Porter’s School was established for girls in 1843 and has been attended by many notable personalities, including Jacqueline Bouvier (Jackie Kennedy Onassis), Dorothy Walker Bush (mother of President George H. Bush), and her granddaughter, Dorothy Bush Koch.
It was a treat to walk the grounds of Miss Porter’s School, and an even greater treat to imagine the adventures and escapades of my characters. It is during their years at Lakeside that the four girls realize they are kindred spirits and form their sisterhood, vowing that wherever life takes them, they will always be there for each other. But that is before: Before love and jealousy come between Adelaide and Dorothy, the closest of the friends. Before the dawn of the Great War upends their world and casts baseless suspicion on the German American man they both love. Before a terrible explosion in Halifax Harbor rips the sisterhood apart.
Seventeen years later, Rosaline Murray receives an unsuspecting telephone call from Dorothy, now headmistress of Lakeside, inviting her to attend the graduation of a new generation of girls, including Rosaline’s beloved daughter. With that call, Rosaline is drawn into a past she’d determined to put behind her. To memories of a man she once loved . . . of a sisterhood she abandoned . . . and of the day she stopped being Adelaide MacNeill.
Women need the friendship, mentoring, companionship, and sisterhood of other women. Relationships between women are beautifully painted in the Bible and in literature. Such bonds in real life are precious and often prove life-sustaining through hard times. Who, besides your sister or best friend—your sister of the heart—will tell you the truth, even when it hurts, will rejoice with you over the smallest victory, will stand with you through hard times when all others desert, and is ready to take your phone call even in the dead of night?
Friendships require honesty, trust, nurturing, investments of time and means, even sacrifice. But as the friends in Ladies of the Lake learn, even the closest of friendships can be sorely tested. Most fallings-out are not pitted against a backdrop as dramatic as WWI or all that war and its prejudices and divisions present to my characters. Despite their good intentions, each young woman plays a role in the failure of their friendship pact, and each middle-aged woman plays a needed role in seeking forgiveness, reconciliation, and in taking tangible steps toward renewal.
I love this book, and I hope you will, too. Once you’ve read Ladies of the Lake, I’d love to know what you think. If you take a photo with the book, I’d love to see it. Leaving a book review would help immensely.
God bless, and happy reading,
Cathy

Welcome! My name is Cathy Gohlke. I write historical novels inspired by today’s headlines–stories that battle oppression, woven with the hope I’ve found in Christ. You can learn more about me and my eleven novels at my website, on Facebook, on Instagram, and Youtube–Book Gems with Cathy Gohlke.
My newest release, Ladies of the Lake, begins on beautiful Prince Edward Island, moves to a 
girls’ New England boarding school, and makes its way to Halifax, Nova Scotia for a sudden and dramatic turn of events. It’s the story of the friendship–the sisterhood–of four girls who vow to always be there for one another. But that is before love and jealousy come between Adelaide and Dorothy, the closest of the friends . . . before the dawn of WWI upends their world and casts baseless suspicion onto the German American man they both love. Before a terrible explosion in Halifax Harbor rips the sisterhood irrevocably apart. Seventeen years later Rosaline Murray receives an unsuspecting phone call that draws her into a past she’d determined to put behind her–of a man she once loved . . . of a sisterhood she’d abandoned . . . and of the day she stopped being Adelaide MacNeill.
Prince Edward Island, Halifax, Nova Scotia–I’d dearly love to return. As beautiful as it all was, there is one image that haunts my memory . . .
THE DAY TIME STOOD STILL
I could hardly believe before reading John U. Bacon’s book, The Great Halifax Explosion, that I’d never heard that in the midst of The Great War (WWI) two ships collided—the Imo, a Norwegian relief ship ultimately bound for Belgium and the Mont-Blanc, a munitions ship destined for France. That collision in Halifax Harbor created the most destructive manmade explosion in history before the dropping of the atomic bomb. Hundreds died, hundreds were blinded, thousands more injured, and entire communities were flattened.
In the explosion’s aftermath, when countless records were destroyed, some took the opportunity to reinvent themselves with new identities, allowing their families and the world to believe they’d perished. I wondered, why would someone do that?
SO off we flew to Nova Scotia. Besides Prince Edward Island and Charlottetown (all things Anne and Lucy Maud Montgmery who figures into Ladies of the Lake), Africville (a community further impoverished by the blast), and Halifax topped my research list. The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and its bookshop was a treasure-trove of information.
Fairview Lawn Cemetery , where the remains of those unidentified after the explosion are interred—as well as victims of the Titanic, both saddened and inspired me.
Halifax’s breathtaking Victorian Public Gardens provided beauty and respite—for my main character and for me.
Halifax has memorialized the Explosion in locations throughout the city. More than a century later residents refer to time before the Explosion and time after. The marker for the City Hall tower clock reads:
“The hands on the north clock face in the City Hall tower, opposite on Duke Street, are permanently fixed at 9:04:35 the exact moment of the wartime Halifax Explosion on the morning of 6 December 1917. The clock face, a replica of the City Hall clock stopped by the Explosion, is a memorial to more than 1900 who died and 10,000 who suffered injuries, many grievous and life-long, in the most violent man-made non-laboratory explosion before the atomic bomb.”
Frozen in time, the clock face is a poignant reminder that all of life can change in a moment. Each new day is precious. Each day irreplaceable.

Introducing 𝙇𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙖𝙠𝙚: A Tale of Friendship, Love, and Belonging – Pre-order Now and Join the Journey!
Only two months until Release Day for Ladies of the Lake!
There is so much I want to share with you about the research for this book, and the story behind the story. But this month, because we celebrate Mother’s Day, I want to share with you how my mother impacted my thinking and inspired one of the characters.
You may already know that part of this book is set in Nova Scotia—beautiful Prince Edward Island and Halifax—the city of the Great Halifax Explosion of WWI, the world’s most destructive manmade explosion prior to the dropping of the atomic bomb. Thousands died in that Explosion. Hundreds more were scarred and/or blinded.
How could I possibly write about that? How could I have any idea what that devastation might have meant in a person’s life? It was because of hearing family stories and witnessing my mother’s life.
When Mom (Bernice) was a very little girl living through the Great Depression, she was given a comb—a wonderful gift in her two-year-old world. Joyfully she played with her treasure, unmindful of the open fire that heated their house, or how near she danced.
Before she could cry out her clothes and hair were engulfed in flames. Burns covered her small body. Doctors doubted she’d live. If by some miracle they were wrong, they believed she would not see, would never walk again. After multiple surgeries, skin grafts and a three months hospital stay, Bernice defied every doctor’s prediction. She walked, she ran, she danced, she saw, she graduated high school, she married, birthed, and raised four children, worked a full career as a legal secretary, participated in church and lived a life of active service. At this writing, she is 95 years of age.
Bernice (Mom) inspired the character of Bernadette in Ladies of the Lake. Like Mom, Bernadette was self-conscious of her scars, but did not let them define her. They never kept her from living a full, rich life or from giving unreservedly to others.
Mom and me wearing our Mother/Daughter shirtwaists, a few years before her stroke
Though she is now blind, bedridden, and often confused, my mother’s stalwart faith has not wavered. My siblings and I are blessed by her example. We honor her this Mother’s Day as a true Proverbs 31 Woman. I pray that Ladies of the Lake does the same.
