FAIRHOPE, Ala. — Christian author Jason Wright will stop by Page & Palette, 32 S. Section St., on March 16, from 5-7 p.m., to sign copies of his latest book, “The Cross Gardener.”

The New York Times bestselling author of

‘The Wednesday Letters” and co-author with Glenn Beck of the No. 1 New York Times bestseller “The Christmas Sweater,” Wright gives us another heartwarming and timeless story exploring the questions we ask when our lives are touched by loss: How can I carry on and who will show the way?

“The Cross Gardener” explores the inevitable alterations that fate makes in the course of our lives and the changes, both good and bad, that result.

An inspirational and redemptive story about finding faith in the face of tragedy, “The Cross Gardener” is drawing comparisons to the New York Times bestseller “The Shack.”

Married and the father of a young daughter, John Bevan had finally found the traditional family he lacked as an orphaned child.

But all that disappears when a fatal car accident steals away his wife and the unborn child she carried.

Filled with sorrow, John withdraws from life and love. He erects a small cross at the scene of his wife’s accident and visits daily, grieving.

Then one morning he encounters a young man kneeling before the cross, touching it up with white paint. John’s conversations and travels with this mysterious man — known to him only as the Cross Gardener — will forever change his world.

Wright is also a speaker and political commentator whose editorials have appeared nationwide.

He has been seen on CNN, FOX News and C-SPAN.

He lives with his wife, Kodi, and their four children in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.
