Gwen Ford Faulkenberry

Gwen Ford Faulkenberry writes inspirational romance rooted in small communities, family recovery, and the character of real American places. Love Finds You in Romeo, Colorado, published by Summerside Press in 2008, follows literature professor Claire Caspian after she returns to her Colorado hometown with her young son. Claire is rebuilding life after losing her husband, while local doctor Stephen Reyes gradually challenges her belief that accepting a new relationship would betray the past. The novel belongs to the multi-author Love Finds You line, whose standalone stories use unusually named towns as narrative settings. Faulkenberry makes Romeo more than a decorative address by connecting landscape, neighbors, faith, and family memory to Claire’s choices. Her background includes teaching English and writing devotional material, experience that suits the book’s interest in literature and spiritual renewal. Love Finds You in Romeo, Colorado was her first novel and established the warm, place-conscious approach she later carried into Love Finds You in Branson, Missouri and other collaborative projects.
