Heartfelt fiction rooted in faith, inspired by real life,

and written to stir the soul.

Meet Jeri Le

After 35 years of business writing, strategic plans, reports, newsletters, I stepped into a new chapter: storytelling.

During the early years of retirement, I found myself sitting in hospitals and hospice rooms as a full-time caregiver for family members. In those quiet, sacred spaces, words poured onto my screen. My first novel, The Farmer’s Daughter, was born out of those moments, woven with faith, family, and the surprising ways God works behind the scenes.

I write Christian fiction for people craving stories that feel real where characters wrestle with life’s big questions and ultimately find grace, purpose, and healing. I also love helping others bring their own stories to life, from memoirs to short stories and everything in between.

If you’re looking for fiction that reflects real life and points back to faith, you’re in the right place.

Helping Others Share Their Stories

My passion for storytelling goes beyond fiction. I’ve also had the honor of helping others shape and publish their own stories, like The Legacy of the Tholkes Family and Davee the Dreamer, a collection of short stories by my sister.

There’s something sacred about capturing someone’s legacy and helping them put it into words. Whether it’s a memoir, short story, or family history, I love collaborating with others to bring meaningful stories into the world.

Let's Talk

When Evelyn steps onto the farm, she has no idea how her life, and the lives of everyone around her, are about to change. This is a story about family, love, loss, and the divine connections that often go unnoticed until we look back.

What began as a simple novel turned into something deeper. While editing, I realized Evelyn’s character connected almost every person in the book. That revelation led to the creation of the prologue and epilogue, adding new depth to her role and the story’s message.

Reader's Reviews

"As someone who has returned to Jan Karon’s Father Tim series time and time again, I cherish books that introduce me to characters who feel like lifelong friends. The Farmer’s Daughter gave me that same gift. I’ve already connected deeply with JC, Vince, Will, Kelsey, and the others—they’ve settled into my heart, and I know I’ll revisit their story many times.

JC is such a compelling character, capturing emotions and questions so many of us carry. Nadine holds her family’s history with quiet strength, and Kelsey is a beautiful reminder that it’s possible to find Jesus early in life without straying. This book explores themes of love lost, forgiveness, and choosing how to respond with grace. As someone whose grandparents were dairy farmers, I found an even deeper personal connection to the setting and rhythm of the story.

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your book. Thank you for writing it and I pray God’s blessings over your life and this book. May people find Christ in the pages. And as you said in your inscription to God be the glory for this story."

Meet Cindy
Editor, Encourager, Lifelong Friend

Their story began over fifty years ago in journalism classes at Iowa Lakes Community College in Estherville, Iowa. After graduation, life took them in different directions.

Years later, after both had retired, Jeri Le asked Cindy for a favor, to review a manuscript and offer honest feedback. Armed with a red pen and a keen eye, Cindy edited grammar, flow, and phrasing. What started as a one-time edit turned into something far more meaningful.

They’ve collaborated on multiple projects, including Jeri Le’s debut novel The Farmer’s Daughter, Cindy’s father’s memoir, Jeri Le’s sister’s short story collection, and now Pip’s Prayers.

Pip's Prayers - Coming Soon!

Pip never expected her prayers to lead here. Set against the backdrop of heartbreak and hope, Pip’s Prayers explores how God answers us in ways we don’t expect, but always need.

This next novel invites you into a story of trust, transformation, and discovering purpose when life feels uncertain.
