Why keep the chapters short? (March 31, 2025)

“Reading in bed jumpstarts dreams.” – Terri Guillemets was right to include this motto on her ‘Quote Garden’ website. And in that spirit, Providence Point features chapters that are often just several pages long. After an exhausting day, one peek into their magical world is enough to deliver peace of mind ahead of a great night’s sleep.

Likewise, such bite-sized chapters are ideal for readers commuting to or from work. Even a brief look-in on the characters and scenes of this novel can provide the ideal escape from daily pressures.

Imagine reading on from first lines like “For Granny, living well meant bringing order to what might otherwise be chaos…” (p. 23), “Grand-père Évariste Leduc’s house stood on a granite ridge with a view over the Bay…” (p. 58), or “That September’s weather began as bright as in the best of years…” (p. 260).
