Songbird


The year is 1945. The war is over and 21-year-old Betty Lake has been invited to Europe to sing in a USO tour for American soldiers who now occupy Hitler's Germany. The first nights performance is a hit. Betty becomes enthralled with the applause, the former Nazi-held mansion they're housed in and the attention of Frank Witt, the US Army Signal Corp Photographer. Yet the next night this songbird is ready to fly the coop when Betty's dear friend, Kat, turns up missing.

Betty soon realizes Franks photographs could be the key to finding Kat. Betty and Frank team up against post-war Nazi influences and the two lovebirds' hearts may find the answers...in each other.

But will they have a chance for their romance to sing? The truth will be revealed under a German moon.

One last hello from Montana!!

I'm in the middle of c-ch-changes. John and I are adopting a baby girl, who should be born within the next few weeks. The birth mom, of course, can change her mind, but we are hopeful we'll be adding a new member to our family soon! Also, John recently accepted a job at Family Life and we'll be moving to Little Rock, Arkansas in the next month. We could use much prayer for this. Our oldest two children (20 & 17) will be staying in Montana at least for a few months to finish up college and other responsibilities. We still need to sell our house and buy a new one too ... in the next month. Of course, then there is the fact we're leaving extended family, friends, and a church we're extremely involved in. On top of that I'm editing two novels and writing a third! I've also started my own weekly radio show, Living Inspired with Tricia Goyer. Life can't be boring, right?!

Through it all, though, John and I have complete peace. God has made it clear these changes are from Him and we just trust that He has EVERYTHING under control. I can't wait to look back six months from now and see His hand every step of the way!
 

Sincerely,

About the book:
The past is brought to light...

Charlotte is cleaning out the basement of Bedford Community Church when she comes across a tattered and yellowed newspaper article. The clipping, published more than a century ago, implicates her great-great-grandfather in the loss of funds intended to help finish building the church. Charlotte has heard stories about the incident through the years, but now it seems the past has come back to haunt her. Is it just her imagination or are people treating her differently now that they think she's descended from a crook? Will Charlotte be able to clear her family's name once and for all?

Meanwhile, Sam is spending time with a new girl in town-and is keeping secrets from his grandparents about where they go. Christopher is trying to get an article published in the local paper, and Emily reluctantly partners with a foreign exchange student on a class project and eventually comes to see that they're not that different after all. As old secrets are brought to light, the whole family is reminded that the truth is often more complicated than it seems.

Come home to Heather Creek.Get to know Charlotte Stevenson, who is raising her grandchildren on the family farm after a tragic accident changes all of their lives forever. With the help of her husband Bob and a close-knit circle of friends, she will do whatever it takes to keep this fragile family together. See how God, who makes the sun rise and the crops grow, watches over our lives too. ~~To order just this book (rather than the whole series) call customer service (1-800-431-2344).

A Few Reviews:

Kaylea at My Scrappy Life Tricia Goyer has crafted a book centering around a secret - that comes to light in an unexpected way. In her efforts, she has created a realistic conflict, that women can relate to. Through the struggles of the Stevenson family, Goyer shows how secrets - past or present - can impact a family. Think of reading this book like you are "drinking" a cup of chicken soup. Drink in the simplicity of the story and find how God works in our lives, sometimes in the small, simple ways.

Freda at Freda's Voice This was a truly lighthearted story, that I really loved. The characters were refreshing, as they live in a society that is kinder, even gentler, towards man. Living in a fast-paced city life, reading these stories are an escape for me. The author wrote beautifully. Her words created the setting, characters and plot, which all pulled me in. If I was to compare the writing to any known author, just to give you an idea of the pace, would be John Steinbeck. He happens to be one of my favorite authors, so not only is this a compliment to the writer, but it shows you how fluid the tale is.

Some things you may have missed!
It's Real Life

A few posts from the blog you may have missed! I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Empty Vessels
When my kids were younger, I used to think of them more like empty vessels. I was the mom, and I believed it was my job to fill them up with all the good things of life-things to make them well rounded and-let's face it-better than any other kid who's ever been born.

Observer, Cheer & Pray
It's been even scarier as my children have gotten older and God's call on their lives has taken them to faraway places. I know God can take care of my children better than I can; it's just my heart that struggles. There comes a point when knowledge of God's protection only goes so far.

God Cleaned My Heart
I used to be so caught up in appearances. I really, really wanted to be the one whom everyone looked at and thought, Isn't she amazing? How does she do it? But God wasn't concerned about that or about how content or organized I was. He didn't care how clean my house was or how together I appeared. He wanted to do some closet cleaning, a spring cleaning like I never expected.

What I Am Not
Sometimes the easiest way to discover who we are is to know who we are not.
