After an inspirational sermon at her church, Bedford decided to reinvent herself as a writer and started to pen Christian fiction. One of her earlier romance novels, Chickadee, is the story of Sarah Hayden, a businesswoman who has avoided going back to her hometown.

Published in , The Story Jar is a collection of three novellas about motherhood that are connected through the discovery of a long-lost story jar in a church. It also represents Bedford's first foray into the realm of Christian fiction. The stories are about a mother who has two young daughters and faces breast cancer just like her own mother did years ago; a remarried working mother with a rebellious runaway daughter who is a born-again Christian; and a couple struggling with infertility and adoption. The novellas are about motherhood but also Christian faith. A reviewer for Publishers Weekly commented: Duncan concluded that The Story Jar "is a delightful addition to any collection.

In A Rose by the Door Bea Bartling is shocked when she learns that her estranged son has been killed in a car accident.

Detailed Review Summary of If I Had You by Deborah Bedford

Her anger tests her Christian faith, and she is still bitter when her son's widow and her granddaughter Paisley show up at her door, broke and hungry. Turned away, they are arrested as vagrants; but a pastor, a gardener, and a young girl slowly show Bea a way back to God and forgiveness so that she lets her son's family into her life. Bedford's next Christian fiction novel, A Morning Like This, tells the story of what happens when David and Abby Treasure, who seem to have the perfect Christian family, are confronted by a woman David had an affair with nine years earlier.

This part seemed rushed towards the end. Bedford interwove her own abortion experience into the book, so she knows what a woman who has had an abortion goes through. Overall, I enjoyed the book.

Debbie Harry - If I Had You

What a compelling, beautifully written story! If Deborah Bedford's storyline hadn't grabbed me by the throat, her writing style would have. Some of the breathtaking images she paints with words, simply beg to be put on film. And the intricate relationships between her characters are so true-to-life and touching, you won't be able to put this book down. It made me want to buy everything she's ever written.
