Nobody does Christmas like Miranda Hamilton, and now that she finally has her chance to chair Magnolia Bay's tree lighting and the cotillion, which benefits her late mother's breast cancer foundation, this Christmas is shaping up to be the best ever. That is until her childhood nemesis Logan Mauldin buys his way on her committee and starts making plans of his own. Logan Mauldin loves to get under Miranda's very sexy skin, and it's only fair. She's been getting under his since long before their first kiss at 13. Logan's the last man interested in co-chairing a Christmas committee or participating in a sexy bachelor auction, but since that night he interrupted Miranda on a date and cornered her under the mistletoe, he can't stop thinking about her. Or vying for her attention and bugging the hell out of her. Christmas cheer isn't the only thing that heats up between the Miranda and Logan, but, thanks to a lie that is as much her fault as it is his, he loses the woman he's loved...]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:47:43 +0200 Flirting with Forever (Island Bliss) https://writing.library.land/kim-boykin/325041-flirting_with_forever_island_bliss.html https://writing.library.land/kim-boykin/325041-flirting_with_forever_island_bliss.html

Palmetto Moon inspired The Huffington Post to rave, "It is always nice to discover a new talented author and Kim Boykin is quite a find." Now, she delivers a novel of a woman picking up the pieces of her life with the help of two spirited, elderly sisters in South Carolina.
April, 1953. Nettie Gilbert has cherished her time studying to be a music teacher at Columbia College in South Carolina, but as graduation approaches, she can't wait to return to her family—and her childhood sweetheart, Brooks—in Alabama. But just days before her senior recital, she gets a letter from her mama telling her that Brooks is getting married . . . to her own sister.
Devastated, Nettie drops out of school and takes a job as live-in help for two old-maid sisters, Emily and Lurleen Eldridge. Emily is fiercely protective of the ailing Lurleen, but their sisterhood has weathered many storms. And as Nettie learns more about their lives on a trip to see a faith healer...]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2015 15:47:45 +0200 Zen for Christians: a beginner's guide https://writing.library.land/kim-boykin/325043-zen_for_christians_a_beginners_guide.html https://writing.library.land/kim-boykin/325043-zen_for_christians_a_beginners_guide.html

EDITORIAL REVIEW: "Trustworthy and delightful guide Kim Boykin will demystify and deepen your understanding of both the traditions she practices. Animated and illuminative Zen for Christians beckons toward a practicing and practical faith at the intersection of two great traditions. A gem!" — James W. Fowler, author, *Stages of Faith* In *Zen for Christians,* author Kim Boykin— who has personally experienced the gifts of Buddhism in her own Christian faith and has taught this subject in a variety of settings— offers Christians a way to incorporate Zen practices into their lives without compromising their beliefs and faith. *Zen for Christians* assumes curiosity but no knowledge as it walks readers through specific concepts of Zen philosophy— such as suffering, attachment, and enlightenment— and explains each in a simple, lively way. Sections between chapters gently guide readers through Zen mediation practices, explaining the basics in a clear, engaging way. One key chapter places *Christian and Zen* teachings side by side to help Christian readers not only understand Zen but appreciate what it has to offer them. *Zen for Christians* illustrates how Zen practice can be particularly useful for Christians who want to enrich their faith by incorporating contemplative practices.]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2003 15:47:45 +0200 The Wisdom of Hair https://writing.library.land/kim-boykin/325042-the_wisdom_of_hair.html https://writing.library.land/kim-boykin/325042-the_wisdom_of_hair.html

June, 1947. Charleston is poised to celebrate the biggest wedding in high-society history, the joining of two of the oldest families in the city. Except the bride is nowhere to be found...

Unlike the rest of the debs she grew up with, Vada Hadley doesn't see marrying Justin McLeod as a blessing—she sees it as a life sentence. So when she finds herself one day away from a wedding she doesn't want, she's left with no choice but to run away from the future her parents have so carefully planned for her.

In Round O, South Carolina, Vada finds independence in the unexpected friendships she forms at the boarding house where she stays, and a quiet yet fulfilling courtship with the local diner owner, Frank Darling. For the first time in her life, she finally feels like she's where she's meant to be. But when her dear friend Darby hunts her down, needing help, Vada will have to confront the life she gave up—and decide where her heart truly belongs.
