NEW RELEASE – These Empty Places
My TENTH full-length novel will release on May 5, 2026 (yes, Cinco de Mayo!). I’m astonished and amazed that this dream of being an author has come so vividly true for me. I hope you enjoy this third North Carolina novel inspired by little known aspects of the great flood of 1916.
When their worlds are upended, two women brought together by their loss discover what truly matters most.

"
My first introduction to poetry beyond nursery rhymes. This book planted the seed that grew into a desire to shape words to show how I see the world. Not perfect, but as close as you can get this side of heaven.

"1930 Lake Toxaway, North Carolina
Engaging! This novel pulled me in from the beginning when a lake is suddenly drained leaving residents with a huge missing piece of their town. For Claire it was devastating. She adored the lake and her home facing it." Read more of this review » |

"These Empty Places by Sarah Loudin Thomas is a powerful and beautiful Christian historical novel that I adored. It is set in small-town America in 1930.
This is a book about love and relationships – whether with people, places or God. It is also a tim" Read more of this review » |
