At fifteen, Rebecca Price Janney faced-off with the editor of her local newspaper–she wanted to write for the paper; he nearly laughed her out of the office. Then she displayed her ace–a portfolio of celebrity interviews she’d written for …
Rebecca’s latest work, East of the Sun, is the first historical novel in her new Heirs of Freedom Series with Elk Lake Publishing. Set during the Korean War in the 1950s, the story is about Shelby Kichline, a descendant of Revolutionary War hero Colonel Peter Kichline. Shelby answers her own call to serve her country as a MASH nurse in Korea where she encounters a severely wounded North Korean officer. Heavy shrapnel to his throat has rendered the man unable to speak, but Shelby has a strong sense he isn’t who his identification papers say he is. Who will believe a rookie nurse’s hunch, though? East of the Sun is a compelling and winsome story about selfless service, surprising ancestral connections, and a determined faith. You’ll be able to get your copy of this engaging novel in early 2025!

Rebecca Price Janney’s novel brings the First Great Awakening to life through the eyes of compelling characters. Readers can identify with these young Christians who demonstrate great faith and human vulnerability as they witness Whitefield’s fervent ministry. Morning Glory artfully tells the story of a revival that shaped early American Christianity and the first Great Awakening.
