Lillington – September 09, 2026 -- Former journalist Lee Jennings has released her Christian romance mystery novel "Home in Montana," available now in softcover and electronic formats through WestBow Press, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
The story follows a woman starting over in a new home
The novel centers on Allie, a woman beginning a fresh chapter in a new home while questioning whether her heart can heal. She befriends a young girl living across the street and the girl's father, only to face a missing friend, health struggles and unwanted contact from her ex-husband.
Jennings weaves personal health struggles into the plot
Jennings said the book targets women, teen girls, Christian readers and those interested in stories about love and second chances. She also hopes it resonates with readers managing OCD, thyroid conditions or other health challenges, since Allie faces similar struggles throughout the story.
"This story captures my love for family and the intrigue of loving someone, with the assurance that all things really do work together for good to those who don't lose faith along the way," Jennings said. She added that the plot includes mystery and a couple of villains, but that life's adventures always lead home.
Scripture guides the protagonist through crisis
Jennings said Scripture plays a central role in Allie's journey as she works through questions of trust and her future. The author said she hopes the novel offers readers facing their own challenges a similar sense of encouragement.
"Home in Montana" carries ISBN 9798385065622 for the softcover edition and ISBN 9798385065615 for the electronic edition.
