Catch up on the video from Week 3 of the Catholic Mom Fall 2023 Book Club, featuring In Pieces by Rhonda Ortiz.


In Pieces (Molly Chase series, book 1) by Rhonda Ortiz

Our Catholic Mom Book Club for Fall 2023 features a fascinating historical novel by a Catholic author. In her richly detailed post-Revolutionary War love story, Rhonda Ortiz transports the reader to 18th-century Boston.

In this week's session, Chrism Press editorial director (and Catholic Mom contributor) Karen Ullo joins Rhonda and our own Allison Gingras to talk about Part 3 of the book, focusing on courtship, domestic espionage in the newly-created United States, some details about sailing, and the challenges of putting real characters into a fictional story.

About Chrism Press:

Chrism Press is an imprint of WhiteFire Publishing dedicated to stories informed by Catholic and Orthodox Christianity that may not be able to find a home in either mainstream secular or Christian (Evangelical) presses. These two ancient faiths share a sacramental and incarnational vision that illuminates the imagination, as well as a centuries-old literary tradition spanning from Dante to Dostoevsky and beyond.

Whether Christian themes are presented overtly, subtly, or symbolically, Chrism Press seeks Spirit-filled fiction in all genres. We are not afraid of darkness; we enjoy the strange and the weird, as well as humor, romance, adventure, and fun. We strongly believe that fiction should never be boringWe invite readers to “Anoint Your Imagination” with a wide array of stories that enlighten while they entertain.
