Cause and Effect

Every decision has the potential to affect someone or something in an unexpected way. Susan Richards is a writer who never seems to meet a deadline, even when her job depends on it. When she loses two jobs in short order due to her tardiness, she decides it’s time to do something drastic.

Susan turns to her cousin Mindy Winters, a Christian living in New York City, and asks to come and stay with her until she gets on her feet. Maybe New York will provide the opportunity she needs to build a new career as a writer. Meanwhile, Mindy continues to share her faith, hoping that it can provide Susan with comfort and support. When the two cousins meet an intriguing man named Henry, who has common ground with Mindy thanks to his own faith, it sparks some conflict between them—and only time will tell whether they will be able to find peace.

In this novella, two young women living in New York City come to understand both the importance and difficulty of having faith in an unpredictable world.
