A place where faith and fiction are woven together.
Welcome, fellow literary maven
I’M LARA
D’ENTREMONT
Mom of three. Author spread too thin over a variety of genres. Storyteller. Rural, seaside dweller. Lover of the forest and all the creatures that dwell in it. Disciple of Christ. I want to help women like you connect your faith with the stories you read—including your own.
Connect your faith with the stories and books you love to read.
As we ground ourselves deeper in rich, biblical theology, it will make the novels we read glow with beauty and truth and stir our affections for our Saviour.
My debut book!
In this collection of creative essays, I never strive to answer the “why?” to our cries, but displays the sovereignty and goodness of our Heavenly Father, both when our greatest joys and worst of fears come true. In each story, I lead you through my battle with anxiety and the early days of motherhood—not to show you my own perseverance or to draw your pity, but to cast your gaze to the One who carried me through it all.
Are you a storyteller too—
but feeling lost in the creative world?
I started writing publicly about seven years ago, and when I did, I had no connections and the only person who read my work beforehand was my husband. I created some pretty terrible articles. A few years later, I grew in friendships with other writers and editors, and I credit them with the growth in my skill as a writer as they ruthlessly edited every piece of writing I crafted. Now I want to offer the same to you.

"I've learned far more from Lara than she'll ever know, and I largely credit her with where I am today as a writer."
