The Prichard family's true-to-life story continues in Passages Between the Columns. Their paper dream fulfilled, Winn and Hope Prichard press on in their small-town print shop.

Dreams - Devotion Deceptions - Disappointment Hope and Winn Prichard discover that God brings about His plan in surprising ways. Earthly angels, beggars, and even Howard Hughes help them in their quest to publish a newspaper during the Great Depression. From a riotous boomtown to a Texas border town, Winn's unwise decisions and unpredictable bouts of binge drinking keep Hope on edge. In fear of losing Hope's love, Winn covers his footprints on the path behind him with deception by omission. With an ulterior motive, Winn aids a stranger which results in the revival of an entire town. While Hope stays with her hypercritical mother-in-law, letters and prayers sustain them while Winn works to establish a newspaper. The Prichards rely on faith as they press on to achieve what God has placed in their hearts.

In 1928, running from failures of the past, Winston Prichard passionately pursues his goal of publishing his own newspaper. Will lack of money, unwise choices, and a weakness for alcohol push his Paper Dreams further from fruition? His continuing difficulties cast doubt about a relationship with Hope Davidson. Should he make her a part of his odyssey? Hope's love for Winn is all encompassing, and she shares his vision; however, discoveries of his transgressions plague her. Maybe her Papa was right when he warned, "If he's a skunk, I hope you see his stripe before it's too late" When each plan crumbles, Hope relies on her faith, yet she questions the wisdom of chasing the aspiration. Hope prays for a secure marriage without secrets. She wonders if desires are personal vanities or if they are placed in our heart by God for His divine purpose.

Someone in Marlee's scheming family is out to get her-but who? To keep her head above water in this shark tank while figuring it out, she must keep them all from suspecting that she has no memory of them, or this world. Meanwhile, she needs to solve a murder mystery in which she's possibly-let's face it, probably-the murderer, and escape the rebels who want to execute her.

She has issues of identity to deal with. Her new body is round, brown, lesbian, and evil, none of which she's happy about. If she's forced to kill one more person, she might just give up in despair. She's trying to be good, but nobody's making it easy.

Fortunately, her maid will help keep the secret, for a price, and unless she gets a better offer. With any luck, and maybe a little help from the gods, Marlee might figure out how to get home before her own plots come crashing down around her.
