More than three years after her world fell apart practically on a public sstage, Sara Evans has re-established her personal life and now hopes to get her career chugging along at its previous pace.

In the fall of 2006, she quit “Dancing With The Stars” as her marriage to politician Craig Schelske crumbled amid a series of accusations and lawsuits. The court documents, often available online, gave plenty of fodder for gossip, and she frequently saw her name in the tabloids. Even more frequently, her own fans chose up sides and played armchair psychiatrist.

Sara’s only now starting to talk about the way her family was turned upside down and the way it challenged her as a mother.

“I am someone who is totally and utterly against divorce,” she told The Palm Beach Post. “I hate that I had to go through a divorce, but sometimes you just have no other choice. But you still have an opportunity to make it all okay for your kids, and that’s by behaving properly after your divorce, and how you talk about your ex and not putting the kids in the middle of it. I’m constantly concerned about how my children are doing, and they’ve all been in counseling. One thing I don’t do is talk bad about their dad, because I think that’s the worst thing a parent can do, and ultimately it hurts the parent who’s doing the talking. Despite divorce, the parent-child relationship should stay intact.”

A lot of things, however, have changed. She remarried to Alabama sportscaster Jay Barker, and she relocated from Nashville to Birmingham, blending their families, which include a total of seven children. She also changed management companies and just released her first novel, The Sweet By And By.

One thing has not changed: Sara still considers music her main vocational pursuit. Thanks in part to the divorce, she hasn’t released an album of all new material since Real Fine Place in 2005. But one is indeed on the way.

“I’ve written most of the songs with my producer and my brother Matt,” she said. “We have five more songs to track, and the single should be done and out by the end of February.”

She’s got a real fine place to play some of the material on the books for this summer. Sara is one of the supporting acts for Brad Paisley’s first-ever stadium date, Aug. 21 in Foxborough, Mass. Also on the bill: Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker and Easton Corbin.

Sara Evans recently called us from her Los Angeles hotel room (she was in L.A. with husband Jay Barker, attending the 2010 Citi BCS National Championship Game) to talk about her new book, The Sweet By And By, and what else is in store for her this year.

In the third and final part of our interview, Sara tells GAC how the strong females in her life influenced The Sweet By And By’s characters. She also reveals the one message she hopes fans will get from reading the book, and gives the backstory on a certain “Desperate Housewives” actress’ glowing recommendation.

Sara Evans recently called us from her Los Angeles hotel room (she was in L.A. with husband Jay Barker, attending the 2010 Citi BCS National Championship Game) to talk about her new book, The Sweet By And By, and what else is in store for her this year.

Sara wrote The Sweet By And By with noted Christian author Rachel Hauck. She decided to take the writing plunge after being approached by the Thomas Nelson book publishing company. The romance novel is a love story with a spiritual thread that covers some tough topics: divorce, teen pregnancy, abortion and crippling panic attacks, to name a few. Sara tells GAC she herself has suffered from panic attacks. She wanted the book’s main character, Jade, to battle them too, to raise awareness of the condition.

A redemptive story from multi-platinum recording artist Sara Evans.

Jade Fitzgerald left the pain of her past in the dust when she headed out for college a decade ago. Now she's thriving in her career and glowing in the light of Max Benson's love.

But then Jade's hippie mother, Beryl Hill, arrives in Whisper Hollow, Tennessee, for Jade's wedding along with Willow, her wild younger sister. Their arrival forces Jade to throw open the dark closets of her past--the insecurity of living with a restless, wandering mother, the silence of her absent father, and the heart-ripping pain of first-love's rejection.

Turns out Beryl has a secret of her own. She needs reconciliation with her oldest daughter before illness takes her life. In the final days leading to the wedding, Jade meets the One who shows her that the past has no hold on her future. With a little grace, they'll meet in the middle, maybe even before that sweet by and by.

Seventeen months after she moved in with husband Jay Barker in Birmingham, Sara Evans is now the matriarch in a household with seven kids, which requires a lot of planning. Especially since she spends much of her time on the road.

That scenario is particularly extreme this December as Sara delivers a holiday concert tour. Most American adults are stressed by shopping, work, parties and/or planning out-of-town trips. Sara’s family has some of those issues, too, but she didn’t skip out on her motherly Christmas duties. She joined the whole crew on Thanksgiving to decorate the tree before embarking on the 12-city tour. She still plans to do it up big-time at home once the shows come to a halt.

“We have so many kids, and my whole goal is to make their memories awesome,” Sara told The Arizona Republic. “I love to cook, put on Christmas music, have a fire lit, the whole deal.”

This year, the music could include her own four-song EP, I’ll Be Home For Christmas – a digital-only release. It includes Sara’s take on the title track, plus “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Go Tell It On The Mountain” and “New Again,” a duet with Brad Paisley. And last year she was matched with The King on a version of “Silent Night” for the album Elvis Presley Christmas Duets.

Those songs and others are part of the set list for her holiday shows, which run through Monday in Greeley, Colo.

“It was a huge challenge to arrange these Christmas songs,” Sara said. “We wanted them to be different. We tried to find [new] chord progressions and different harmony vocals and arrangements.”

Once the new year arrives, Sara will have new music and a novel to keep her occupied. She hopes to get an album out during 2010, and her book The Sweet By And By — originally due last August — is now slated for release in January.
