It’s a brand new year, readers! And with it, I’m delighted to introduce you to four brand new books. (If you have observant family members, you may have received a bookstore gift card for Christmas like I did…so here are some great suggestions for how to use it.) Click on each cover to start reading an excerpt.
I hope the new year so far has been full of hope and excitement for what’s to come!
Out of the Ashes by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse
Plot: Katherine and Jean-Michel once shared a deep love that was torn apart by forces beyond their control. Reunited in the 1920s at the Curry Hotel in Alaska, have the years changed them too deeply to rediscover what they had? And when Jean-Michel’s nightmares of war return with terrifying consequences, will faith be enough to heal what’s been broken for so long?
A Song Unheard by Roseanna M. White
Plot: At the outset of WWI, high-end thief Willa Forsythe is hired to steal a cypher from famous violinist Lukas De Wilde. Given the value of his father’s work as a cryptologist, Lukas fears for his family and doesn’t know who to trust. He likes Willa—and the feeling is mutual—but if Willa doesn’t betray him as ordered, her own family will pay the price.
Judah’s Wife by Angela Hunt
Plot: The miraculous story of the Maccabees told through the eyes of a woman who learns that love requires both courage and sacrifice. Seeking safety after a hard childhood, Leah marries a strong and gentle man of the nation of Judah. But when the ruler of the land issues a life-altering decree, her newfound peace—and the entire Jewish heritage—is put in jeopardy.
