A New Look for Finding Heaven: Cover Reveal (and a Peek at Something Special)

Sometimes you write a book, and you get the cover right the first time.

Sometimes you write a book, and it takes you… seven tries.
(Yes. Seven. We’re at seven now.)

If you’ve been around for a while, you might remember that I shared a whole post last year about the evolving face of Finding Heaven—from its very first cover to several I designed but never used and the one it’s been wearing since 2020. (If you missed that post, you can find the full cover history on the Books and Tea League community blog right here—you’ll need a free membership to read it.)

Well, friend, here we are again. This story has grown, and it’s time for the cover to grow with it.

Why Change the Cover? (Again?)

When I first released Finding Heaven eight years ago, I chose a cover that felt right at the time. But as I’ve continued learning, growing, and testing new designs, I realized that while the story inside was connecting deeply with the people who read it, the invitation—the cover—wasn’t always reaching the readers who would love it most.

It turns out, sometimes a story needs a new package. A new way to say, “Hey, this might be for you.”

So after a lot of thought, research, (and yes, a few click tests), I’ve found a new look for Finding Heaven that feels like home—a cover that better fits the emotional journey inside and speaks more clearly to fans of authors like Kristin Hannah, Nicholas Sparks, and Charles Martin.

Here’s the New Cover!

Drumroll, please…

The new eBook cover for Finding Heaven.

This is the new face of Finding Heaven—at least for now.

It will be the cover for the eBook edition currently available in my store and on all major retailers. And based on the early response, it seems to be connecting beautifully with the right readers. (I’ve already seen a bump in interest, which tells me the story is finding new hearts.)

But Wait—There’s More!

What you see here isn’t the only new cover this story is getting.

I’ve also been working on a special edition hardcover for a Kickstarter I’m planning to launch later this year, and that version will have its own unique cover—one that’s deeply tied to the story’s heart.

The design is inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi—the practice of mending broken pottery with gold, creating something more beautiful for having been broken. This concept is woven into the story in a powerful way and holds personal meaning for me as well. (I shared more about that in a special post just for my Books and Tea League members.)

If you’re curious to see that cover now (and get the story behind it), you can unlock the exclusive reveal here. (Joining the Books and Tea League is free—it just takes a moment to sign up, and you’ll get access to other members-only goodies too!)

What Happens Next?

Right now, I’m still in the planning phase for the Kickstarter. I don’t have a pre-launch page to share with you yet, but I’ll be sure to keep you updated when it’s time.

In the meantime, if you’ve ever thought about picking up a paperback or hardcover copy with the current cover, now’s your chance. I’ll be retiring that version soon to make room for this new chapter in Finding Heaven’s life.

Thank you, friend, for walking this road with me—for being part of this book’s journey, whether you’ve read it already or it’s just now catching your eye. Stories evolve. Sometimes their covers do, too.

And sometimes, it takes seven of them to get it just right.
