The Friessens: A New Beginning

The Deadline

~ "This book will steal your heart & have you waiting for the next one. It will also teach you to speak your mind when necessary. I do hope this situation never happens in real life! Don't miss a very good emotional read." - Whodunnit, Reviewer

~ "I love these Friessen men and their families. Was so excited the stories are going to keep on how going. Andy and Laura had a plate full with a sick child and moving to a new state along with twins. Andy has a strong personality and I appreciate him more after this book. What a man won't do for his family. Please read!" - Janet Murphy, Reviewer

~ "I'm like your other fans, absolutely in love with this family. I so wanted Gabriel to get well and can't wait until Andy's mother finally gets what's coming to her. I've never read of such a vicious, manipulative, heartless character like her before. I love how this family comes together for each other, and the hubbies, momma mia, so masterful, hunks personified. I personally could see this as a series on TV." - Arkansan, Reviewer

~ "I Loved this book! Thank You Lorhainne Eckhart for bringing the Friessens back. You make the Friessen men so alive and the kind of men us women wish we could meet. The Deadline is a touching story of unconditional love and strength." - Amazon Customer, Reviewer

In THE DEADLINE, Andy Friessen has packed up everything and moved his family two states away, to Montana, to protect his wife, Laura, his newborn babies, and his stepson, Gabriel, from the threats of his mother. What Andy doesn’t know is that they’ll soon face a new threat, one he never saw coming.

Gabriel is sick, and a trip to the doctor confirms Laura and Andy’s worst nightmare: Without a lifesaving transplant, their son won’t survive.

What Andy doesn’t count on, as he tracks down the young man who fathered Gabriel, as well as Laura’s estranged parents, is that a whole host of problems are about to be unleashed.

Lorhainne Eckhart INC.

She could give him everything except the one thing he wanted—A child.

A 2015 Readers’ Favorite Award Winner from NY Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart, THE PRICE TO LOVE is “an emotional story about a marriage on the brink of falling apart and how two people cope with changing relationships. Lorhainne Eckhart has written a fantastic novel about secrets, desires and the lengths we're willing to go in order to make our dreams come true." (Natasha Jackson, Readers' Favorite) 

“Lorhainne Eckhart, is courageous to write a story with a "good guy" who is so despicable in his behavior. That does not ruin the story, though; if anything, it adds realism and volume to the plot.”

“I love the Friessens! Have read the entire series ... If there were more than 5 stars I would give them.” C. Bailey

In THE PRICE TO LOVE, Candy knows that her husband wants a baby, but she can’t give him one. When Neil pays for a surrogate and moves her into their home, he tells her not to worry, but she suddenly feels as if she’s on the outside looking in.

Then, one day she meets a little girl who steals her heart, a little girl with a damaged, scarred soul filled with the kind of despair and hopelessness that should never be in the innocent eyes of a child. But neither Neil nor his family understand her need to help.

As their marriage hangs on the brink of disaster, Candy is forced to make a choice between her husband and helping this child.

The Price to Love

Brad and Emily return in a heartwarming and emotional story about a family faced with secrets and an unexpected visitor who could destroy their happily ever after.

-"Boy, can Lorhainne pull a person into her stories. They just grab you and don't let go!! You feel all the emotions they do!! Happiness, anger, frustration but always love...”

A Different Kind of Love brings back the couple you fell in love with in The Forgotten Child. Now, years later, Brad and Emily are faced an entirely new set of challenges with their preteen autistic boy when his mother, Crystal, returns. She wants a relationship with the boy she abandoned—something Brad and Emily never expected. She says she’s changed, but can the Friessens believe her?

A Different Kind of Love

Sometimes, families need a helping hand

Holidays are about family, love, and giving; but this Christmas, the Friessens are in for a rough holiday season.

—“Absolutely brilliant.Got my coffee, said to hell with the housework, and devoured it slowly. I was gobsmacked at Rodney’s story. Poor Becky. This family series is a bloody good read. Thank you.”

—“The Friessen family is a family that really touches my heart and they will touch yours heart too.”

Thirteen days before Christmas, a letter arrives in the mail—a letter that was never meant for Candy Friessen. When she opens it, she discovers a lie that rocks her world, and she begins to question everything she and Neil have created together, including his love for her and their family.

Seven days before Christmas, Candy’s heart is breaking. She makes plans to leave, but when a call one night alerts all the Friessens that Becky, their mother, is fighting for her life in the hospital, they rush to her bedside without a second thought. Faced with uncertainty, Brad, Neil, Jed, and their wives are together for Christmas, but there’s no happy celebration, no gifts piled under the tree.

And for Candy and Neil, once trust is destroyed, is the bond of family strong enough to keep them together?
