WELCOME TO PECAN POINTE
Where the stories begin
Along the bayous of South Louisiana sits Pecan Pointe, a fictional town where family ties run deep, neighbors know your business, and grace has a way of showing up when it’s needed most. It’s the heart of the Pecan Pointe novels—a place shaped by memory, second chances, and the people who call it home.


MEET MARIAN
Louisiana roots.
Colorado mountains. Stories of grace.
I’m Marian P. Merritt, an author of
inspirational women’s fiction shaped by faith, family,
and a strong sense of place.
I grew up in South Louisiana and now call
Colorado’s Western Slope home—two very different landscapes that continue to influence the stories I tell.
Whether my characters find themselves beside a Louisiana bayou, beneath Colorado mountains,
or far from home, I write about women
navigating change and discovering hope, grace, and restoration along the way.
