| The Chance by Karen KingsburyGeneral Fiction. What a difference 11 years makes. When they were teenagers, Ellie and Nolan wrote letters to each other and buried them in a metal box under their favorite oak tree the day before Ellie unexpectedly left Georgia for California. The friends agreed that they would stay in touch and that they would meet under the tree 11 years later, in 2013, to unearth the box. They didn't keep in contact, but will they meet under the tree? As the date approaches, the two are leading very different lives -- Ellie is a single mom and Nolan is an NBA star -- and neither is happy. This wonderfully written novel about loss, the power of faith, and the wounds that only love can heal will please bestselling author Karen Kingsbury's many fans and earn her new ones. |

Like her fellow bestselling authors Jan Karon and Richard Paul Evans, Debbie Macomber pens heartwarming, romantic books that please a wide range of readers. |
