Author: Carmen Schober

Carmen Schober writes contemporary Christian fiction about ambition, damaged trust, and the difficult work of rebuilding a life. Pretty Little Pieces follows home designer Georgina Havoc after personal loss and a separation unsettle both her television career and her faith. Bethany House issued it in 2022, following Schober's debut, After She Falls. The reality-television competition gives the story a public arena, while Georgina's renovation of a Tennessee cottage creates a quieter setting for questions about vocation, belief, and relationships. Schober brings professional experience as an editor and essayist to fiction that balances romantic development with spiritual conflict. She earned a master's degree in English literature and creative writing from Kansas State University and identifies her Cuban American heritage as part of her background. Pretty Little Pieces was a Carol Award finalist in the contemporary category. Its design-world premise and restorative arc make it a useful companion to Schober's earlier novel about athletic discipline, family pressure, and recovery.
