"You'll set sail on a
wonderful adventure in
Lorna Seilstad's new
series set at Lake
Manawa, Iowa. Her
quick wit and
characters are mixed
into a little known slice
of history that will keep
you turning the pages
and when the story
ends. Fortunately,
there's another book to
follow. I can't wait!"
--Judith Miller,
Somewhere to Belong



"Lorna Seilstad pulled
me into the world she
created around Lake
Manawa with the lake
breeze, the sailboats,
and the leisure of
summer days. But the
love story and the
characters were what
made the book great.
This needs to be
everyone's first choice
for a vacation read, or if
you just want to open
the pages of a book and
be transported from
your recliner to the
beach."
--Mary Connealy, author,
Doctor in Petticoats and
Wrangler in Petticoats



"Seilstad's new
historical series, Lake
Manawa Summers, is
filled with characters
who are funny,
cunning, lovable, and
somehow always land
on their feet. The
blooming romance is a
joy to read as it unfolds
throughout the story."

"So much more than romance"
~Inspirational author
Lorna Seilstad - Short Bio

Award-winning author Lorna Seilstad has called Iowa home her whole life. She received her B.S. in Education from
Lubbock Christian University. After her first child was born, she quit teaching and became a professional wiper. “I wiped
noses, tears, skinned knees, baby's bottoms, and counter tops every day. But at nap time, I wrote." Today, she writes
historical fiction with a generous dash of humor. Making Waves is her debut novel and the first in the Lake Manawa
Summers Series.. She and her husband have three children.
What others are saying about A GREAT CATCH?


"A breezy writing style and likable characters make Seilstad's latest series entry (after Making Waves) a sure
bet for fans of Mary Balogh."-- Library Journal


"Set a few years after the events of Making Waves (2010) and portraying the same set of friends, Seilstad’s
impressive second effort is a beguiling inspirational summer romance." --Booklist


"Book two in the Lake Manawa Summers series will charm the reader with its delightful community spirit. It is a
tribute to the midwestern lifestyle of celebrating both God and country."--Romantic Times Book Reviews


"A Great Catch weaves humor, history, romance, and spiritual truths into a delicious story that will delight
readers' hearts. What a fun, relaxing read! I'd like to remain at Lake Manawa forever." --Laura Frantz, author of
The Frontiersman's Daughter and Courting Morrow Little


"A Great Catch is a grand slam! In a story as refreshing and invigorating as lemonade, Seilstad raises deep
questions about a woman's relationship with God, her dreams, and the people in her life--while making me laugh
so loudly my kids came running to get in on the joke."--Sarah Sundin, author of the Wings of Glory series
