Welcome to compassion, recovery & peace.

Forks in the Road by Carin Jayne Casey

After struggling through a childhood in England with parents who gave everything except love, Valerie graduated high school emotionally vulnerable. She found temporary solace with her study group in an Irish university and began a wonderful romance with a young man, Drystan, her senior year.

Will this relationship bring the belongingness she hoped for?

If not, could her faith prevail?

Eventually, circumstances necessitate her going to Scotland.

What might this journey produce?

Valerie travels the United Kingdom and shares her Christian journey of real-life issues and challenges. How can she overcome betrayal, heartbreak, and grief? What must it take for her to become victorious?

Maybe Valerie’s journey parallels our own.

Happy Readers. True Testimonials.

Carin Jayne Casey
“A recommended read for anyone dealing with abuse. The abusive situations described throughout the book are shocking and sad. Vivid descriptions allow the reader to understand Rosa Jean’s pain and appreciate how she managed to get help and reclaim her faith. Although fiction, the author really connected with schemes that abusers use to control their victims. This is a recommended read for people wanting to understand their own situation or that of friends or family members who have suffered abuse.”

“I enjoyed the book, Mystery at Candice Bay. I have to admit, when Janie & Jake started getting together, I jumped ahead to the end of the book to see if he was guilty in any way. It didn’t ruin the story for me because I still needed to read the 50 some pages in-between. I’ve enjoyed all you’ve written… they’ve all been interesting.”

I was really touched by Carin Casey’s ‘My Dear Rosa Jean’, but at the same time, I was extremely angry. I was feeling sorry for Rosa Jean’s experience and her abusive relationship with her abuser; I was angry because I had no idea people could be so cruel toward one and other as a human being. I am very proud of Carin Casey’s courage to disclose her story with others and hopefully her story would help others to speak up and walk away from the cruelty situation they encounter.

Best of luck!
