My Latest Novel

EBOOK COVER.jpg

When Birdie relocates to a charming small town to assist in running the nursing home her mother manages, she’s seeking a fresh start. But instead of finding peace, she faces a looming financial crisis that threatens the residents she’s grown to love—and her own livelihood. As she fights to save the nursing home, Liam, the charismatic but guarded grandson of one of her favorite residents, arrives in town, offering his help.

​

As Birdie and Liam work together, their connection deepens, but Birdie’s past unresolved issues holds her back from taking a chance on love. Torn between the possibility of a future with Liam and the emotional scars she hasn’t yet healed, Birdie must find the strength to face her fears and open her heart.

​

In Between Shadows and Light, a story of love, healing, and second chances, Birdie must decide: will she overcome her past and take a chance on happiness, or will her unresolved fears keep her in the shadows?

Leah Omar was born and raised in a small farming community in Minnesota, before moving to Minneapolis where she realized that a bookstore on each corner and the ability to disappear into anonymity was more her jam. 

​

When Leah's not busy writing women's fiction and romance, she can be found watching a basketball game on TV, traveling somewhere far away, eating something spicy, or trying to shape the lives of her two amazing kids. 

​

Leah's debut novel "A Labor of Love" was released in April of 2021. She has since released additional books, "Between Sunsets," "The Lives Between Us," and "Between Then and Now."

 

And because she loves almost nothing more than creating beautiful and complex characters, many more novels are forthcoming.

Reviews

This is probably the first book I’ve read all the way through in over 10 years. I do not read. But this book... wowza! I couldn’t put it down! I just wanted more and more and felt like I was living the life of the main character. I’m three days out from finishing it and STILL think about it and crave more. It was so easy to follow and kept my interest the entire time. It not only follows a midwife on her journey to Tanzania to support a low resource community, but it addresses racial disparities, heartbreak, love and major life decisions along the way. I love it and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who loves adventure, birth, romance and drama :)
