INTRODUCING
Janey
A Modern Retelling of Jane de Chantal
Janey is a contemporary retelling of the life and friendship of Saints Jane de Chantal and Francis de Sales.
Janey Freymont has big dreams and she’s the girl to make them happen. Alongside her wildly adventurous husband Chris, she can do anything.
Until she can’t.
After tragedy strikes, Jane’s hellbent on keeping her life in order. She finds herself becoming a woman she doesn’t recognize: hardened by life. One day, she meets an unusually gentle and joyful cleric: Bishop Francis. Though she cold-shoulders him at first, Francis is not easily discouraged, and he wants Jane to know the real Jesus, not just the ‘holiness’ she’s been chasing.
- An Authentically Catholic Retelling
- A Casual, Easy Read
- Deep Love for the Church & Her Saints
Meet The saints
Have you ever ended a book and thought, “I wish I could know that character in real life!” Well, now you can. Janey and Francis are based on real-life saints.
Bishop Francis
Baby Bishop. Romantic-hearted cleric. Gentleman saint. Doctor of Love.
Bishop Francis' early struggles with and conquest of scrupulosity define his theology. He knows God's tender love, even when others don't see why he's so gentle. When he meets a certain uptight widow who's doing the most, he can see straight through her stony facade. What he sees there changes everything.
Based on Saint Francis de Sales
Janey freymont
Single mom. Widow. Perfectionist.
Survivor.
This woman has been forged by fire, and her intense spiritual rigor only fortifies her pursuit of perfection - until one day. She meets a Bishop obsessed with the Song of Songs, and everything changes.
Based on Saint Jane Frances de Chantal.
